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.

The chess problems are initially confusing since "3 moves" would normally be interpreted by chess players as 3 white moves plus 3 black replies. Not the case here: it's simply white move, black move, white move. Note that both sides must co-operate to give the mate, in other words it's what chess players call a help-mate.
i completed all previous questions up to todays quest yesterday and if i am correct, today (28/apr-06) is the 11th "code"... but no question is on my page! is this an error or am i counting it wrong?
April 27th was the 11th challenge. The 12th challenge will appear after 1 pm Eastern time today...
Next challenge : the eternal city is, of course, Rome.
To find "Palazzo di Venezia", go there : Google maps
then resize your window to match google's screenshot and put it on it. Alt+tab some times and you're done : the greek cross appears with in difference.
It happen to be right on top-left of the capitol.
Do you have the answer for the 12th question yet?
This is really weird. I'm trying to enter in "Palazzo di Venezia" and it won't accept my answer. Anyone else have this problem?
Nevermind. I'm an idiot. The answer was the city itself: Rome.
I'm having trouble finding the greek cross...any suggestions?
Okay, nevermind, I found it...geez, why was this puzzle was the hardest for me so far?!
wow! that was the hardest challenge so far! i would say it was more at the top a bit left of centre cuz i was looking in the corner- the google map was no help at all i just had to literally find it...
