Erm... I am not getting any "spectacles" and I am not logged in. I don't even have an account with Quora.

Here's what I see - http://imgur.com/m9G1Q

What am I missing?

I get the blurred answers 100% of the time if you arrive at Quora via a Google search. Try this URL:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&#...

Also, the first answer is always clear - they blur subsequent answers.

I don't from that link; just a big green "Sign Up" button at the top and unblurred answers below

All the answers were blurred after loading for me.

What browser are you using and do you have javascript enabled?

Ah, so you only get those blurred answers if you come from a search engine. That's the first time I see it in action. I have javascript disabled so I get an opaque block over the answer.

My friend and I believe that this is part of Quora's A/B testing.

(I got the blur, while my friend could see everything.)

That is a very sensible guess. I am too now getting the blur.
