    1. Start scraping all images from http://developer.android.com/training/ inside div.gc-documentation    
    2. Inspect manually
    3. Profit

Fun!

It says I don't have valid credentials for the four or so I found. They all seem like the same text adventure.

There's the one in... http://developer.android.com/images/tools/as-buildvariants.p... ...but I've tried everything I can make of that awful font and can't seem to get the proper chars for the URL.

I have only come across the two, both on the link in the OP.

Has anyone found others?

It looks like they were hiding them in other places, such as old video annotations...

Just found one. It's the "opportunity to purchase" a ticket to I/O. Registration code should arrive within 24-48 hours.
