Welcome back folks.. for the latest Google Da Vinci Code webquest.
Today's challenge is being called the "Curator Challenge"
The instructions are as follows
"Audrey Tautou is Sophie Neveu, a Police Department Cryptographer with a special connection to the murdered curator of the Louvre.
Use your curator's eye to hand the works of art such that the hooks match those on the gallery wall. Not all the hooks on the gallery wall will necessarily be used. Some art may have already been placed and cannot be moved.
With the quests involving pictures, it is always a bit tricky. The key to solving this quest is to make sure you take care of the largest painting first and go down progressively.
Note: The number of paintings on your quest might vary along with the locations some of them might have been placed. However follow the approach and you should be okay.
Step #1: Take the largest painting and try to position it on the board. Note: There are only a couple of locations where you might be able to place the paintings. An easy clue is that the paintings stick to like a magnet as soon as it thinks you are placing it in the right location. Also, since there is more than one position you can place these large paintings, make sure that use the space which occupies the least number of hooks.
Step # 2: Go down progressively in terms of size and take care of the next largest painting.
Step # 3: Take care of the horizontal ones with 3 hooks first. Also a tricky issue is one you need to place the vertical painting with just one hook.
Once we are done assembling the paintings, we are asked our daily trivia question.
"Petarch sent three presents to the Bishop of Cavaillon. What was the color of the first present?"
We are recommended to use Google Book Search. Once you go to google book search, type in the section of the question in bold and you should be able to find your answer.
Good luck solving!!

according to Vol. IV of The Eclectic Review, what author has a fervid imagination and wonderful power??
Petrarch sent three presents to the Bishop of Cavaillon. What was the first one?
Answer at http://books.google.com/books?vid=0eYY9wpX0IASFWFtlN&id=xTHtteumBcgC&pg=PA114&lpg=PA114&dq=Petrarch+sent+three+presents+to+the+Bishop+of+Cavaillon
My question was "According to Vol. IV of The Eclectic Review, whose childhood was distinguished by the inevitable persecutions which all geniuses are fated to endure?" I dunno. I'm completely confused. I even used google book search.
Instead of doing the question about the number of Christians in Cochin China, I just closed the webpage, and redid the puzzle. I got a new question and was done in a minute or two.
hybrid fury, put the both the eclectic review and the phrase inevitable........endure in quotation marks when you search for it with google book search.
According to Vol. XXIII of The Eclectic Review, whose voice was meagre, shrill and dry?
ANSWER CAN BE FOUND HERE.
"It is not less strange that Petrarch never showed to Boccaccio"

"According to Vol. XXIII of The Eclectic Review, the number of christians in cochin china is how many?"
Answer is NOT 'one hundred thousand' and cannot be found after straight reading the book with 'china' and 'christian' entries.. the term 'cochin' does not even appear in the damn book.. anyone?
70000
I am curious why everyone has trouble with the questons. For every question I have had I have simply typed the bolded part into google book search and the link to the page with the answer comes right up.
thanks! lol - 'seventy' with 'thousand' isn't even in the book either, how'd you find that?! <3

Q: It is not less strange that Petrarch never showed THIS to Boccaccio
A: Search for "It is not less strange that Petrarch never showed" gives the answer...
HELP!
According to Vol. IV of The Eclectic Review, what author talks of his sufferings in terms that might suit a Galileo imprisoned by the Inquisition?
I can't for the life of me find it.
I've tried everyone listed on the page that has galileo, nothing.
according to the eclectic review: who endeavoured in vain to unite christian art with the pagan ideas of antiquity?
M. Angelo
These seemed hard at first because i was finding the book then searching within it. For some reason this is an awful solution and turns up nothing. Like another has suggested. Just go to google books and search for the embolden text of the question. Should take u straight there.
Some question about Petrarch and a birthplace - answer is Virgil. I forget what the question exactly is (did it a few hours ago).
Also, I asked this in yesterday's comments, but no replies:
Just curious about comments from yesterday [day before, now] about some secret passage on the official DVC site...what IS the site? Spent about an hour and nothing remotely like a secret passage in sight...little explanation there please? =)
Thanks

aka. (OldEnuffMom)
I found my answer using Google Book Search in Life of Petrarch
on page 114. He wrote "truth begats hatred".
Lots of people seem to have trouble finding the answers. I just click on the Google link they always give you and copy and paste the bolded test. That has given me the answer every time! It's strange to me that these seem to be getting easier. I'm able to answer several now without even googling. It's almost over! I can't wait to see if I get the cryptex and get a chance at the Final Quest!
my quest glitched lol, im supposed to have another painting, and i know it was there. see image
What Gaudy flower?
Google Book Search put in bold and italics and it comes right up.
