Over the past few weeks I played the Da Vinci Code quest game on google, and I ended up being one of the 10,000 finalists who moved on to the final puzzle challenge. There’s a 48 hour window to play the final puzzles which started this afternoon. So after I was sure Carrie was asleep for the night, and after restarting Safari and making sure nothing would distract me, I loaded it up. It’s 5 consecutive puzzles, and the person who takes the shortest amount of time to complete them all wins the grand prize.<\/p>\n
Wow. I thought I was pretty good at puzzles, but this was…well, I know for sure I didn’t win the grand prize. I think it took me somewhere close to an hour to complete it – I forgot to look at the time when I started. Four of the five puzzles were things I’m generally pretty good at, but they were sadistically difficult. The fifth…well, if being able to play this particular game is a requirement to enter Heaven I am totally destined for Hell.<\/p>\n
But based on all the snippets of movie previews and such we had to watch during the first phase to get clues to answer those puzzles, I really want to see the movie! (I also want to see X-Men 3. I don’t imagine that we’ll actually get to the movies twice in one month, so now I have to decide which one I want to see more…)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
