Thanks, sometimes the pictures aren't quite clear exactly which species it is. Especially if I have no clue as to what they might be in the first place. :lol:

This is like trying to hit the slots....all we need is the silly sounds to go with it. Just as addictive, too. :twisted: I seem to get a lot of doubles-no triples.

On a PC, you'd use the PrintScreen button on the keyboard, and then open a drawing program (MS Paint for example) and paste in the copy of the screen.

Re: What are the chances

Just to clarify my original post about the odds.
The chance of a particular triplet is 1 in 2744.
The chance of any triplet is obviously 14 in 2744 or 1 in 196.
As an aside the chances of a pair is 560 in 2744 or about 1 in 5.

So we should see a pair every 25 minutes on average.
We should see any triplet once every 16 hours or so.
We should see a particular triplet once every 9.5 days or there about.
The bug was fixed on 21st June so by this Wednesday we have an evens chance of the full set!

For those using Apple (Mac) you press cmd, shift, 4. You then drag the mouse to create the rectangle/square and let go. It is saved onto the desktop. Apple rules! :D

I think duplicates are still appreciated. Just doesn't get us further on our quest to (screen) capture these elusive cats.
