Last week, Google launched a new trivia game called “A Google a Day,” which encourages users to search Google for their answers. It’s fun and doesn’t take too much time (if you’re an avid searcher). Watch out, though: Questions are supposed to get tougher as the week goes on. The daily quiz offers up a single question that’s supposed to be hard enough that typing a quick set of words into a search query box won’t find the solution. Answers to these questions will be posted the next day on the “Google a Day” page and above the New York Times’ crossword puzzle. And like the Times’ puzzle, questions will get harder as the week goes on, “by Thursday or Friday, even the most seasoned searcher may be stumped,” according to Google’s official blog.
“As the world of information continues to explode, we hope ‘A Google a Day’ triggers your imagination and helps you discover all the types of questions you can ask Google — and get an answer,” Google researcher Dan Russell wrote in the post.
Russell also noted that when users do searches to find clues to the puzzle, they should do so from the agoogleaday.com page. “We’ve made a special version of Google that excludes real-time updates and other things that are likely to include spoilers as people post the answers to the puzzle online,” he explained.
Monday’s first question was: “Two future presidents signed me. Two didn’t because they were abroad. Despite my importance, modern viewers seem to think I have a glaring spelling error. What is it?” If you can’t figure it out via Google, there are options to ask your friends via email, Buzz, Facebook, and Twitter. You can also follow “A Google a Day” and get the clues delivered right to your Facebook and Twitter feeds. The offering is powered by Deja Google. This “wormhole inspired time machine … searches the Internet as it existed before the game began,” Google said. “Because nobody wants someone’s recent blog post about finding an answer spoiling their fun.”
