#62Interesting thing, it recognized white queen correctly with diamonds on crown, but as black queen without diamonds and failed with only one diamond:

#64It recognized my drawing of a cactus! http://i.imgur.com/pDgIOPk.png
I know this is supposed to be funny, but I had to flag it. I mean, I did found it funny, but I did not enjoyed seeing that in my work (specially because I work with kids stuff)

Shame this doesn't work in zsh.

$#& - all were my first suggestion... perhaps I draw them better than you do? :)
