Needs to be added to one's Google Homepage to work though. Not bad, today's puzzle was a cross between N-Queens and Sudoku. Or just symbolic Sudoku. Which is itself a derivative of N-Queens...  . |

Requires flash 8... also 'µ' sounds nothing like 'u'. |

Isn't that just rizzix' little spice to the title? I don't recall the title being that extravagent or linguistically impaired. (They did forget to put the bar in the capital A though, looks like an upside-down V now...) |

not entirely true... you basically _need_ to sign into gmail (specifically your personalised google page).. It is required to participate.. (it really does not have anything to do with my account ) |

no man! u know how they give u a list of puzzles? i solved all but the one that is called "Observation" it actually says that on the puzzle. i believe it was like the third one. the suddokish one was i think second and i solved it in 2 minutes lol. P.S. i can't get a screenshot because i can't attach things in offtopic forum. |

You don't even need to upload images to compsci.ca... Ever heard of imageshack.us? tinypic? the tens-of-thousands of other image hosting websites? |

This thing was so not worth booting into windows for. "Greek cross"? Bah! I have two things to say: 1) Who was expecting Tom Hanks to be Langley? It's just weird to me... probably just the hair. 2) I'm glad Sophie's good lookin'!
PS: Observations was easy Spoiler wrote: 1) This is compsci.ca! That's the fleur-de-lis! 2) It's the virtruvian man! Badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom, mushroom! (If you don't know what I'm talking about, that's a little sad) 3) 26 possible positions for a single dial, how many dials? 26^[numdials] = 11881376, numdials = 5 |

I've never read the book, so don't really know much. Plan to read the book soon, since movies coming out soon, and it'd be a shame to see it not having read the book. Aaaaanyways, that Sophie I believe is a certain Audrey Tautou (sp?). She's a french actress, and shes alright although it'll be strange since she put on a rather convincing performance of complete insanity and obsession as a eropsychotic (is that it?) neighbour in "A la folie ou pas de tout" which is the french equivalent to "She loves me, she loves me not". Anyways, thats just a little background since I *thought* i recognized her in the trailer. I could be terribly wrong and under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs but... There ya go! |

Yeah, yeah, whatever. Does she have a sexy accent? |

Well I've only seen her in a french movie so can't say exactly. Although I'm told she speaks excellent English, which presumably indicates, if at all, only a slight accent. |

if you look at the map, its new york... if you do a little bit of searching on google, the answer is there. |
