As we’ve reported before, our good friends over at Google are starting up a daily puzzle challenge. Each day’s puzzle will task your googling skills a little more, leading you to Google mastery. And much to our enjoyment, they’ve decided to share the puzzles with us at GeekDad (hmm… Google a Day? GD? GeekDad?), so each morning at 12:01am ET you’ll see a new puzzle, and the previous day’s answer (in invisitext) posted here. SPOILER WARNING: As a test, we’re going to leave the comments on so people can work together to find the answer. As such, if you want to figure it out all by yourself, DON’T READ THE COMMENTS! Also, with the knowledge that because others may publish their answers before you do, if you want to be able to search for information without accidentally seeing the answer somewhere, you can use the Google-a-Day site’s search tool, which will automatically filter out published answers, to give you a spoiler-free experience. And now, without further ado, we give you… TODAY’S PUZZLE:
I am an animal that can grow more than 20,000 teeth in my lifetime. Which of my species, extinct or living, has the largest teeth?
YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (HIGHLIGHT TO SEE):
Search [Roman god of fire] to get Vulcan. Search [Vulcan process convert tree sap] to learn the process is vulcanization, which makes rubber. Search [vulcanization] to learn that sulfur is added during vulcanization. Search [atomic number sulfur] to find the answer is 16.
