Student Rant : Da Vinci Code webquest # 12

Hello everyone... welcome back to day 12 of the Google Da Vinci Code webquests.

Today's challenge is being called the "Geography Challenge"

The instructions are as follows
" Paul Bettany is Silas, a man who in blind faith will do whatever it takes to track down a secret that must be destroyed, no matter where it leads him.

Assemble the jigsaw puzzle pieces to reveal and identify a geographical location."

There are 16 different jigsaw pieces here. Note: The number of jigsaw pieces might vary in your screen.

Step # 1: There are two pieces which contain text at the bottom identifying its google copyright. Assemble those two on the bottom right hand site. Notice that as soon as you lock those components in, the mouse pointer changes from a hand, indicating that you put the piece in the right place.

Step # 2: We will continue upwards on the right hand side. Through trial and error, fill up the section on the right hand side. Again, notice that if you put the right piece, that section is locked up.

Step # 3: Now, do the same, coming over to the left. Fill up bottom to the top, merging with the right hand side section.

Step # 4: Do the same, going from the bottom to the top... right to left side.

Once, we are done, unlike yesterday, we are asked a trivia question.




The trivia question we are asked is
" By adding some PIZAZZ to A NOVEL IDEA and rearranging the letters, you'll get the location of a museum in this eternal city. What is the name of the city?

Two hints for answering this
#1: The oval shaped structure on the bottom right is the colosseum.

#2: The city is the capital of the country where PIZAZZ or Pizza was supposed to have originated.

#3: If you do a Google search for eternal city either the second or the third link has the answer with the name of the city. - Thanks Tom Lage

Once, we are done with this, we are asked one more trivia question.

" Yes, Now find the Palazzo Di Venezia by clicking on a Greek cross hidden in the city"

For this, I had to go on to Google Maps.

Once you go to the google maps link mentioned above, click on the satellite view and room in until you see the colosseum. Get your bearings on where the highlighted pointer is which is the museum. Click on the location in your puzzle piece. The cross is uncovered.

Good luck solving!!

UPDATE: A lot of you complained in the comments and through email that you were not able to click on the cross. Hopefully this helps. The section where you need to click is circled. If you see a broad overview, a cross is in the middle in white.
