Default The Da Vinci Code Quest on Google

If you use the Google personalized homepage like I do, you probably have already seen this. It's a lot like NotPr0n, except it's shorter, it's easier, and it's Da Vinci Code-themed. You typically have to visit other websites to solve the puzzles, some you just need to read the book, some are just math or general knowledge. They're putting in a new puzzle every day, so if you're bored enough, get a gmail account and go to http://www.google.com/ig.

Bitches.

There are only 5 puzzles up. There are 24 total. You didn't complete it. You're an idiot Ryan.

Default Re: The Da Vinci Code Quest on Google

that is not the correct one TPS.

the correct one is run THROUGH google. Search "da vinci google" on google, and you should get the link on sony's da vinci code page. from there, you click the link and it sets it up on your google.com homepage, google.com/ig

I have no idea what the name of the symbol is and have no patience to try and find it.

Quit/10.

Same here if I don't find out what it is in the next 30 minutes. (BTW Day 3.)

EDIT: I FOUND OUT WHAT IT IS. But I'm not saying what it is...

Second Edit: I've completed all the puzzles made so far. They're not worthy of CT.

The 1st 7 have not been hard... the 7th took a TINY bit of thinking... but I would imagine that by the 4th go around of each group, the questions will be very difficult. Days 19-24.

So......

did anyone else complete all 24 besides me? By the 4th round, they were moderately hard, but still fairly simple.

I submitted my info to google. They will contact everyone on Monday. 10,000 people get a cryptex; everyone else gets some other e-mail of praise. Also, the 10,000 cryptex winners will receive final instructions on how they can qualify to win the grand prize.

So wish me luck! If I win the free cryptex, .01% chance of winning the grand prize (assuming all 10k get the final puzzle(s), which is unlikely.)

I would imagine that finishing it quickly after it was put up won't make a difference... I'm guessing it was put up ~1pm like usual. I looked at it ~2 and had it done in a minute or so.

*shrugs* Almost certainly it will be random amongst however many people got it all right to pick the 10k. And LD... if 1 of us gets into that 10k, share the puzzle with the other? I know I'm curious to see what google will put out as their grand prize puzzle.
