If you call the number, you get the voicemail for Jonas Faukman at Doubleknight Books. He says if you want to email him or whatever, to go to www.doubleknightbooks.com, and then it hangs up.

There's an employee message board on the DKB site, and Jonas Faukman works as a username, but then it asks for a password.

Oddly, Jonas's profile on the DBK site says he is in his nineties, but he sounds about 25 on the voicemail.

Apparently, this was a web quest to promote the original release of The Da Vinci Code book. The final message is from Dan Brown saying congratulations for completing it and he hopes you had fun and that you will read his book.

Just to be clear - some of what puma found was from the old quest; others he mentioned in the film site are there today pre-the new quest and so probably won't be part of the quest.

Mini quest on the site to skim through a series of vignettes from classical art to find classical symbols. There's a tool you slide to scroll slowly through the images.

When you find them all, the slide thingie becomes a kind of tool bar with five of the symbols.

Look at each of the character pages. 1) There is a "hidden" link on the background image of each that runs a short film clip. 2) A purple light sometimes plays across the bar below the character frame - click on it, and it becomes a flashlight that illuminates hidden text and pictures in the background image. 3) At the far right on each character frame there is what turned out to be the turned-up corner of a page. Click and drag left, the page pulls back and it reveals another image and a sequence of symbols from that tool bar. Click the symbols in that sequence and you get another movie clip. There's a bunch of clips - I found them all, I think, by doing this on all the character pages and opening and closing the pages many times. I had the sound off, so I don't know if there's more. Also, some of these pages have backward text on the back of the page you are holding open. I read them but did not transcribe, they don't seem to be clues to anything but rather more atmosphere about the movie plot.

ANYWAY - that's the stuff that's already there, and thus unlikely to be part of the quest starting tomorrow, so we don't have to waste time on re-doing this. Unless of course I am wrong and these are all rabbitholes to the quests...

Here in the UK we're half way through the day, and nothings happened yet - I haven't missed it have I?
