A Google-a-Day Puzzle for Jan. 3

Geek Culture

Our good friends at Google run a daily puzzle challenge and asked us to help get them out to the geeky masses. Each day’s puzzle will task your googling skills a little more, leading you to Google mastery. Each morning at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time you’ll see a new puzzle, and the previous day’s answer (in invisitext) posted here.

.answer {color:#fff;}
.answer:hover {color:#333;}

SPOILER WARNING:
We 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, we give you…

TODAY’S PUZZLE:

The author of Federalist No. 10 later served as Secretary of State to which president?

YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (mouseover to see):

Search [Géricault shipwreck painting] to find that his painting is titled “The Raft of the Medusa.” Search [Raft of the Medusa Géricault ship] and read to learn that in the upper right corner of the painting, one can see (and the painting’s castaways are reacting to) the silhouette of the rescuing ship, the Argus.
