Conquering the Da Vinci Code (Day 24)

The final day of phase 1 is almost here. So far we've seen 23 of the 24 challenges for Google's Da Vinci Code Quest.

So how has your experience been? Have the puzzles been too easy, too hard, or just right?

I've been surprized at how easy the puzzles have been. Will the trend continue for the final puzzle?

For additional commentary including help for the first 23 challenges, see my website on the Google's Da Vinci Code Quest.

Problems with my ISP - FrogNet

My ISP is having network and/or DNS problems this morning. Looks like things started to deteriorate around 6:45 am. A few people have been able to pull up pages from my websites but not many...

Conquering the Da Vinci Code (Day 19+)

We are into the home stretch. Only 6 more challenges to go for this first phase. And still the challenges are not too much more difficult than they were at the beginning. I wonder what Day 19 will bring for The Da Vinci Code Quest on Google?

As before, I've updated my website with all of your comments and suggestions. Please keep them coming!

Good luck on the remaining challenges...

(And no, I'm not stupid. I definitely won't be posting the results of the last challenge until after the final deadline. I fully expect, actually hope, it to be more difficult than the rest. I'd rather not see the top 10,000 be determined solely by luck or chance.)

Gmail Server Error

I've been unable to get into my Gmail account for about 40+ minutes now. I'm seeing the following error message:

Server Error

We're sorry, but Gmail is temporarily unavailable. We're currently working to fix the problem -- please try logging in to your account in a few minutes.

Conquering the Da Vinci Code (Day 14)

Day 14 is here for The Da Vinci Code Quest on Google. So far the challenges don't seem to be too much more difficult. What do you think?

I've updated my website with all of your comments and suggestions. Please keep them coming!

Good luck on today's challenge...

Conquering the Da Vinci Code Quest (up to day 11)

Well, we are almost halfway through the 24 day challenge and the puzzles don't really seem to be getting much harder. I wonder how much longer that will last.

For more information, see The Da Vinci Code Quest on Google. For additional commentary including hints and answers, see my pages on Google's Da Vinci Code Quest.

I'd like to thank all of you who have responded either via the blog entries or direct email. I'm working on getting the additional information listed.

Conquering the Da Vinci Code Quest (up to day 8)

We have now seen eight of the twenty four puzzles for The Da Vinci Code Quest on Google. None have been overly difficult up to this point. I originally thought that starting with day 7 that the puzzles would be harder. They are a little bit more difficult but not much.

For more information on the challenges / puzzles / questions / answers, see my pages on Google's Da Vinci Code Quest.

I'm curious as to whether people are seeing different questions for days 7 and 8. If you have time, let us know what your questions have been.
