The Lost Symbol - Symbol Quest

In anticipation of next week's release of The Lost Symbol, I've been playing the Symbol Quest game (found on the official Lost Symbol site). While not of the scope and length I'd expected after playing other Dan-Brown-esque games, it was a fairly interesting game which may well hold some secrets to the theme of the upcoming novel. Here's how it works: We're presented with a flash-movie of an empty dial surrounded by floating symbols. The aim of the game is to drag the correct symbol into the centre of the dial based on the textual clues which appear below. Each success turns the dial one degree - we're aiming for 33 in total - and have only three "lives" (unsuccessful attempts) to complete the game. When we reach the targets of 11 and 21 successful matches, the screen refreshes to load a new set of symbols. When we reach 33, we're presented with a congratulatory screen, and a secret message if completed with no mistakes :) Need some help? To comple...

The $100 Laptop for children in the Third World

The "One Laptop Per Child" project aims to supply children in the developing world with laptops to help improve their education and provide a link to the technological world. The XO laptop is designed especially for children, being extremely rugged and easy to maintain with a long battery life. However, this laptop still includes many features, such as an integrated camera and wi-fi access. Currently priced at $176 (approximately £90), the organisation soon hopes to be able to reduce this cost to around $100 in the near future as more governments order a supply for their country's classrooms. Here the founder of the project, Nicholas Negroponte, discusses criticism against his charitable intentions as others suggest the funding could be used for better means. (Source: BBC Technology ) Whatever the criticism of this project, I find this a wonderful and awe-inspiring idea. Recently, Intel have also joined forced with the OLPC project in order to share ideas, technology and...

Dracula's Riddle 2

Just a few days ago, I discovered The Riddler had created a sequel to my favourite "find the answer" game of all time, Dracula's Riddle . I'm rather disappointed with myself: this game has been out well over a year, and I hadn't known about it. Still, it was a worthy distraction while I waited for my copy of Professor Layton and the Diabolical box... A week later, and I'm still struggling through it. I'd hoped I could manage to complete it in a single, intense weekend, but alas - I had underestimated the sheer genius of the creator. He's outdone himself, both in terms of puzzles and the lengths we must go to solve them! Professor Layton is on the backburner while I try to make my way to the elusive ending. Surely I'm only a few answers away, but right now I am completely stuck on the Dead River lines... Any help out there?
