Hello Piotr,
Please refine your Googlish search with some conditions that take
into account the context of the problem...
I suppose that you know very well what happens when you try to make
searches and to find out conclusions, when you search outside the
current context of that problem.
In your examples, as like in the Miguel's one, the context is
wittingly ignored...
To remain inside the problem's context, please try a Google search,
where the sound "carp" means at least "stone" or something
related...and so on...
To respect the rules of the game I guarantee you that I did not
previously make such a search...but I already bet 5 beers with you...
that your "Google 1720" list will quickly arrive to a "Google zero"
list...

Please keep me informed about who has to pay the beers...

Best regards,
marius


P.S. Regarding the interpretation "of why we have here 5 beers ? by
accident or not" on the Fact "I bet 5 beers" here it is:
the First 4 beers are not by accident but they are related to the
fact that if you obtain "a Google zero List", you will pay one for
each of my 4 facts that will contribute to your search result...
However the fifth one, I accidentaly added to the previous four,
but knowing now that I already have it, I will give it to Miguel, for
his contribution to his "5-th" fact added in my list...that I'm sure
that he will drink it in a "Gershwin" context..and not in another
one).
