A Google-a-Day Puzzle for Apr. 7

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: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:

In the secret code created by members of a Native American tribe during WWII, how would you say “submarine”?

YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (mouseover to see):

Search [animal lookout Eiffel Tower World War I] to find that parrots were kept as lookouts on the tower during that war. Search [parrots Eiffel Tower WWI] to learn that the birds were kept there because their acute sense of hearing helped them detect approaching enemy aircraft.
