Awwww Man. . .
Well, I didn't make the Final Round of the Da Vinci Code Quest on Google. I just got the below email informing me of my failures. :( It was the last question, the anagram for "So Dark the Con of Man" that cost me. I read the book and knew it was something to do with "of the rocks". For some reason "Madonna" just completely slipped my mind and I lost valuable seconds trying to find the answer. But, it was fun and I did get a free game out of the deal.

Da Vinci Code Quest: Day Twenty Four
Had to do this one fast today in an attempt to be one of the first 10,000 people to finish the quest and become a finalist. Don't yet know if I succeeded. I don't have the exact questions, but I do have the answers, listed below. This challenge was just like the Day Three , Day Ten, and Day Seventeen challenges. You can view the video here.

Da Vinci Code Quest: Day Twenty Three
Just like the Day Six , Day Twelve, and Day Eighteen challenges, you have puzzle to put together. It may be easier to find the four corner pieces and place them first, then place the edge pieces, and finally the center pieces. Just some jigsaw puzzle solving hints. You are then asked to name the city pictured and to find items hidden around the city. "Surely your recognize this city of light. After all, it's home to the most famous painting in the world. What is the name of the city?" Answer: Paris "Correct! There are nine Cinquefoil icons hidden among the streets. Please find them and click on them." You can find the location of the Blades on the picture below.  "You have found all nine Cinquefoil icons! The icons reveal a hidden Chalice, centering on La Pyramide Inversee. But from above, it looks like something completely different; something related to the number of icons you have discovered on each Geography Challenge: 0, 1, 4, 9, . . .what is this classical sequence?" Answer: squares Shameless promotion: Since you've made a stop at the Libloggery, why don't you s tick around for awhile, read some of the posts, leave some comments, and come back soon!

Da Vinci Code Quest: Day Twenty one
A more challenging version of the Day Four, Day Nine, and Day Fifteen challenges. Once you get the pictures hung you are asked a question. I've listed below the questions I got in my attempts. The easiest way to find the answers is to use the bolded words as search terms in Google Book Search. Feel free to list your questions and answers in the comments. Answer: Scipiade Answer: adulation Please post any questions not listed here in comments.

Da Vinci Code Quest: Day Twenty
Another more challenging version of previous challenges (in this case,Day Two, Day Eight, and Day Fourteen). After completing the puzzle (Don't give up! It can be done!) you are asked a question. Your question is probably different than mine. "According to The Numismatic Chronicle, during whose reign were the rare fleur-de-lis groats of Stirling struck?" Answer: James II The easiest way to find the answer is to use Google Book Search and use as your search terms the bolded words in your question along with the book title. Please add your question and answer to the comments.

Da Vinci Code Quest: Day Nineteen
This challenge is very similar to those from Day One, Day Seven, and Day Thirteen except this one is a 6x6. Once you solve it, you will be asked a question. "What chief Italian virtue does author William Dean Howells learn on his Italian Journeys?" Answer: patience The easiest way to find the answer is to use the Google Book Search and use as search terms the bolded words in your question along with the book title and perhaps the author.

Da Vinci Code Quest: Day Eighteen
Just like the Day Six and Day Twelve challenges, you have puzzle to put together. It may be easier to find the four corner pieces and place them first, then place the edge pieces, and finally the center pieces. Just some jigsaw puzzle solving hints. You are then asked to name the city pictured and to find items hidden around the city. "Leonardo's reverse handwriting manuscript on perpetual motion wheels can be found in this city. What is its name? (For another clue, Hyde in the north.)" Answer: London "Well done! There are four Blades hidden around the city. Please find them and click on them." Just a reminder that Blades look like pyramids. You can find the location of the Blades on the picture below.  "You have found all four Blades, and lo! they draw an X over a place just slightly north of the Victoria and Albert Museum, home of Leonardo's Codex Forster. What is its name?" Answer: Imperial College There are many things just slightly north of the Victoria and Albert Museum as you can see from the map below. But the answer they want is Imperial College.
