Riddles and Search?

By Christopher Moore

I’ve just wasted about an hour playing on a new search engine called Trumalia.com. If you like riddles, then you’ll have a great time traipsing through their search engine. In addition to more than 2,000 challenging questions on topics such as art identification and the history of science, Trumalia also features several difficult enigmas and a high-quality contemporary art gallery. Members meet in the forum to discuss everything from art to the Trumalia enigmas to current events.

Check out the site. If you can decipher their “enigmas” then you win $1,000, with the possibility for more:

For retrieving one artifact and providing the required deciphered message, you will receive a check for $1,000. This is in addition to the value of the artifact itself, which is considerable. Our hope is that the $1,000 will help defray any travel expenses associated with your journey to the site.

For solving all four enigmas, you will win the entire purse. The purse grows substantially each day. Initially worth thousands of dollars, it continually expands in connection with the number of people like you who use our search engine. Our hope is that the purse will cross into the tens of thousands, if not more, before all four enigmas are solved.

Even better, if you’re a smart chap, you can earn Amazon points by answering questions that come up in search results. It’s pretty neat. The whole idea is to get you to use their search engine. I’m still slogging through the first Enigma. I haven’t gotten very far.
