Student Rant: Google Da Vinci Code quest # 21 : Curator Challenge

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!!
