Showing a 1 bedroom apartment in Manhattan for $2950 as your first example isn't really making your case. My first thought was - send me the link!

Yeah fair it's honestly more for fun that anything else so I actually put realistic data from all over the spectrum - the listings are updated every day do and some are wildly expensive

I think it should show more than 1 image.

Agreed. At least it should start to show you more after you make a few guesses wrong. The one in Lenox hill, even 5BR5BA I was off by way more than half and thought the final rent was absurd until I saw all the pictures.

Wait what? Unless there's a bug it should show more after the first hint. Hints go like this:

1. First pic + BR/baths count 2. Rest of the pics 3. Neighborhood 4. Special features

It's working now but it wasn't before.
