An entrant has just pointed out that the URL as given above doesn't work,
or isn't working now, at least.  <http://www.google.com/intl/en/>, with
a trailing slash, is what I meant; my apologies for the error.  I will
now email a copy of this posting to everyone who has entered so far.
If anyone wants to change their answer on this question, I will accept
the change.  If you receive this notice in email and do not want to
change anything, please do not reply.
