The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 213. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

When I saw this scene, I thought the dark shape in front of the shark was a diver taking photos. It wasn’t until I got home, and examined the photo closely, that I realized it was just a rock!
