The Da Vinci Code Quest / Google Fact Stats
Here are the GoogleFact blog stats for The Da Vinci Code Challenge (excluding today's 9,000+ hits) I know some of you were wondering about these numbers and others could care less.
I was asked to clarify the finalist status. Nobody has received any notice from Google. If they had, they would have posted the content of the email in one of the 400+ comments we had today or at least notified me via email. All we can do is wait right now, I imagine Google is trying to sort out the mess they are in with all of the problems they had today. I encountered 3 different error messages myself in the first 10 minutes after the puzzle's release today.
Here is what will probably happen, transparent to Da Vinci Quest players. Google will probably go back and look at logs and determine which 10,000 players were the fastest to finish the puzzles regardless of what messages were displayed. Whatever you do, don't let it bother you, it is only a game. Yes I know it's fun to win games, but there are a lot more important things to worry about in this life then this quest. So don't let the man (or in this case Google's lack of preparation) get you down.
Finally, I need to thank both WRfly10 and Kate for so kindly offering up their cryptex and also an opportunity to play phase 2 of the challenge. As I mentioned in a previous post, if I would have won the cryptex it probably would have ended up on Ebay, so go ahead and keep it guys, but I do appreciate the generousity and unselfish spirit. I would like to at least post the questions from the final challenge so do keep me informed as that process evolves.
This type of thoughtful unselfish giving is something that is rarely displayed in our modern day world. Everybody and everything is cut throat, take what you can get and get what you can take. We do not often consider others before ourselves or give gifts out of the kindness of our hearts, just for the sake of giving it (as opposed to giving a gift for a tax break or birthdays) So thank you for your example WRfly10 and Kate, I hope we can all learn something from your examples. Alright enough of the emotions, you were wanting some facts.

Great job with the contest. Much appreciation!
The game is over, but I just want to say thanks for your efforts. I didn't use your keys, but checked several times to see if my puzzle was different from the others. Your info for the last day was great- with all the technical hassles, it was good to know that one is not alone. Until the next round, what are you going to put here? Ready for another game?
One other note from the official rules page:
Even if the Module Page indicates that you solved all 24 Daily Puzzles, you are NOT a Finalist unless you have been notified by Sponsor to such effect.
And since the Sponsor won't be sending out emails until May 15, as declared in the official rules, nobody knows yet whether or not they are a finalist. Just wanted to clarify things. I did receive the confirmation page that I was registered, and am anxiously awaiting May 15 to see if I was quick enough.
googlefact - great job hosting this blog. I've had great fun solving the Da Vinci puzzles (and picking up answers, in some cases from the comments here).
Hi, Love your blog. Great job hosting the blog for the contest. Appreciate it
GF!
How do you get all of your stats? Do you have some kind of site tracker generator?
I'd love to know.
MR
