生命的希望不再失落 by 土豆头
想牵住你的手轻轻的对你说
只要一句温柔的话我不要求更多
纵然是风吹雨打我也会坚强的挺立
任凭那时光的匆匆看岁月如飞梭
想牵住你的手轻轻的对你说
生命的感动你给了我太多太多
我会将关怀和思念化作遥远的寄语
同深秋的红叶静候生命的潮起潮落
好想让时光在这一刻永远的停留
无论天涯海角也不会与你擦肩而过
就象看见你在湛蓝的天空中与群星闪烁
即使不最耀眼也是我心中最亮的那一颗
梦想的黎明一定会出现在黑夜的尽头
我知道那是生命的希望让我不再失落

Can you crack the code?

Back in college, I had this idea of an Internet-based puzzle extravaganza. It would have one thousand puzzles of various types, more than anyone could ever expect to solve in the time limit provided. It was all going to tie into a central theme and an intricate story.
I got to about two hundred before I got exhausted (in both senses of the word).
Almost a decade later, that dream has come true: a small group of us at Google, in cooperation with Sony Pictures, have managed to create 12,358 original puzzles for The Da Vinci Code Quest on Google.
That's right, 12,358 (I'd make a joke about Fibonacci numbers, but that would be too obvious), all designed to honor both a fanatical puzzler’s sheer love of a mental challenge and the labyrinthine spirit of The Da Vinci Code itself. They'll be released over the next 24 days, in the form of six different challenges at four difficulty levels, with enough variety that I think everyone will be able to find something they like and play it over and over -- although if you're in the U.S., you'll want to try to complete all 24 and make it to the Final Challenge, where I hear there's a pretty nice prize package
awaiting the winner.
I'm rather pleased with how this project fulfilled my youthful dream, and very proud of how well our team's creative synergies were able to mesh with the world of The Da Vinci Code, the cinematic version of which will premiere just as the Quest wraps up. Yes, we'll have to turn the puzzles off then -- after all, how else are we going to get you all offline to join the rest of us in the multiplexes?
Good luck, and more importantly, have fun!
P. S. Okay, this wouldn’t be a Da Vinci-related post if I didn’t give you a clue: if you really want a mental workout, try solving the Chess Challenges by looking only at the board, without using the multiple choices to help you. The training you get may very well prove helpful should you turn out to be one of the elite few who reach the Final Challenge.
