A Google-a-Day Puzzle for Saturday, May 21st

As we?ve reported before, our good friends over at Google are starting up a daily puzzle challenge. Each day?s puzzle will task your googling skills a little more, leading you to Google mastery.

And much to our enjoyment, they?ve decided to share the puzzles with us at GeekDad (hmm? Google a Day? GD? GeekDad?), so each morning at 12:01am ET you?ll see a new puzzle, and the previous day?s answer (in invisitext) posted here.

SPOILER WARNING: As a test, we?re going to leave the comments on so people can work together to find the answer. As such, if you want to figure it out all by yourself, DON?T READ THE COMMENTS!

Also, with the knowledge that because others may publish their answers before you do, if you want to be able to search for information without accidentally seeing the answer somewhere, you can use the Google-a-Day site?s search tool, which will automatically filter out published answers, to give you a spoiler-free experience.

And now, without further ado?

TODAY?S PUZZLE:

As George surveyed the ?waterless place,? he unearthed some very important eggs. Why were they important?

YESTERDAY?S ANSWER (HIGHLIGHT TO SEE):

Searching [literature Swift] leads you to Jonathan Swift. Search [Jonathan Swift astronomer]. Find out that Swift?s novel ?Gulliver?s Travels? references two moons of Mars that had not yet been discovered. Further searches reveal that the Viking I spacecraft was first to photograph the two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos.

Ken is a husband and father from the San Francisco Bay Area, where he works as a civil engineer. He also wrote the NYT bestselling book "Geek Dad: Awesomely Geeky Projects for Dads and Kids to Share."
