Hey all.. Welcome back. The quests were up a bit late on this site because of my finals. Anyways, today's challenge is being called The Chess Challenge
The instructions are as follows
"Ian McKellen is Sir Leigh Teabing, a man whose every move has been in preparation for a Grail Quest.
Determine the only sequence of three moves that will lead to checkmate in the given chess scenario. Knowledge of The Da Vinci Code may hel you, as may Google Web Search"

Question #1: A word that can be read the same backwards or forwards is called
A quick google search gives us the answer in the description of the first result
Question # 2: Jacques Sauniere's body was found in which part of the Louvre?

Question # 3: The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog is an example of
Again, a google search and then under the first result in Wikipedia, we find our answer.
Over all, if this was a pure chess quest, it might have been more of a challenge, but in the end turns out to be one of the easiest quests so far.
Good luck solving!!

Thanks everyone for your patience. My final went super awesome. I was making the post about this being quest # 10 like couple of minutes before the test. Sorry about the goof up.
Anyways, it turned out to be one the easiest quests so far.
Good job everyone!
