Final Screen Shots

First, Don't forget to help me out (since I don't get to play) by visiting this link and voting 10 for my dog Rex http://www.1800petmeds.com/petcontest/vote/6006037436590614018.
You have to admit he is pretty cute.

Second, visit the forums for tips on how to solve the puzzles quickly. http://googlefact.iphorum.com (they may be a little slow but it is worth the wait)

Third, here is a slideshow of the screen captures we have receive thus far. Thank you Steven from http://www.imgplace.net for graciously putting this together. We will continue to update this as we receive more images.


Finally, please send me your screen shots (davincicodequest@gmail.com also send them to davinci@imgplace.net) rather than post them in the comments. We are going to create a slideshow of the final solutions, so make sure to email the screenshots to both email addresses. I will give you credit for the image and a link back if you want one.

Angrybastard,
Your point is noted. The problem is in the fact that they made the solutions to these puzzles generic. You'll notice that I haven't posted the solutions to puzzles that did not have same answer solutions. I simply posted my solution, which would not have been your solution.

If Google/Sony had developed puzzles that were random and or unique we could only post strategies, which is what I set out to do in this blog.

I had no idea when I started blogging about the puzzles that my solution would be the same as yours, in fact I actually thought for certian they wouldn't be the same.

If you are looking for someone to get upset at, then you need to look at Google/Sony.

I don't see the difference between finding a solution to a question at wikipedia or finding a solution to a question on this blog? Am I wrong?

I totally got the EXACT same Sudoku, EXACT same restoration, EXACT same Chess Board, EXACT same curators hanging. Google said they had over 12,000 puzzles for this. WTF? Even if I had waited for the solutions, I still don't think I could have "clicked" the mouse that much faster than some of the times I'm seeing posted.

Everyone remember you are being timed from when you start the puzzle to when you finish it, this means you can wait till the last day it wont matter as long as your start to finish time is within the deadline time.
To win you have to have the shortest time between start and finish. The good idea is to solve the puzzles before you push start. There is no way to determine though, which of the already solved and posted up puzzles in blogs.. you got... Though some one will likely have your puzzle too.
goood luck!!

If every posts up their times at least we can -guess- at the averages..

If I was competing, I would wait till the latest time I can handle, before starting, giving myself enough time to finish once I do start.. so I can see what everyonelse's general times are and try to beat the shortest time I have seen posted.

synch:
the directions say to link up the splotches so that there are no remaining un linked splotches and revealing the words hidden with the splotches.

You can link several pairs of splotches up on one pile if you want but you need to finish with an even amount of splotches or it will tell you that there are no remaining splotches to pair up with and you have to start over. Try and get the words uncovered -revealing the missing words- click once on several close by splotches and it will tell you by highlighting them in white, whether or not its even possible to get a link up from where you are clicking.

Point to your screen with your finger and "one two" every spot to figure out a possible route of pairing before you actually decide to pair any of them. Whats confusing is there isnt too much information about the fact that you will likely need to stack up several blotches in order to keep pairing them. What I mean is once you have joined two pairs, you will have a pile of four blotches under your mouse and with that pile of four you will start adding more to them.

I usually click on several splotches once to see where my links are, figure out how many will be LEFT AFTER you would choose the assumed next link, if it doesnt look like you will have an even number of links after you click your next one, then choose one that will leave you an even number of remaining pairs until you eliminate all of the splotches left.
I personally hate the splotch puzzles the most.

airboyd - I share your a shock at the fact all the puzzles were the same for everyone. It may have been beyond Google's control: onigame.livejournal.com
(Onigame is one of the puzzle creators)

mistressronins - let's hope there's not a tie because then the person with the earlier entry time wins.
