GeekDad.com is the parenting blog at Wired.com, edited by Ken Denmead, Matt Blum, Jonathan Liu, Z and Chris Anderson. It is a community of like-minded geeky parents writing about our experiences raising our kids in the digital age, and about our obsessions with technology, family-friendly projects, and pop-culture. The GeekDads podcast is a biweekly discussion of anything and everything that impacts us as geeks and parents.

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:

The rising population of the only immortal animal species is spreading across the globe. Where did this predator originate?

YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (mouseover to see):

Search [Doc Holliday occupation] to learn that he was a dentist. Search [Paul Revere dentist] to confirm that while Paul Revere was a renowned silversmith and copperplate engraver, he also worked as a dentist to make ends meet.

For those of you who enjoy our GeekDads podcast, we’ll broadcast the recording session live tonight. So if you’d like to waste an hour and participate via chat room, stop by right here at 6:00 this evening, Pacific Time — we’re recording an hour earlier than usual tonight. We hope to see you here!

Adam Savage is working on an as-yet untitled video podcast project, and this new episode hits right at the heart of what he calls the “GeekDad Movement.” His attitude towards encouraging his kids’ interests is wonderful, and hopefully infectious for anyone who watches this.
