Yes that is a good question. Will we be looking at a "zone" (several images in square formation, so that we can scan adjacent "images") or just some random images.

well same here, although when someone eventually finds one, they will probably post images that we can look at and memorise, compare ect.

Ranking

I'm sorry if this has been talked about before, but how will they rank us? Because, if you get ranks by viewing more images it might encourage you to go over them with less care. On the other hand if they rank us by how many particles we find.... well that just wouldn't work.
