Our good friends at Google run a daily puzzle challenge and asked us to help get them out to the geeky masses. Each day’s puzzle will task your googling skills a little more, leading you to Google mastery. Each morning at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time you’ll see a new puzzle, and the previous day’s answer (in invisitext) posted here.
SPOILER WARNING:
We 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:
A gourd decorated with figures from the French Revolution was recently valued at $700,000. But it’s not what’s on the gourd, but what might be in it, that’s so interesting. What might it be?
YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (mouseover to see):
Search [male platypus dangerous] and find articles that detail how the platypus has a poison that can be very painful to humans. Search for [male giant anteater dangerous] to learn that its claws are capable of killing a human in one swipe. You decide, wisely, to take on the platypus.
