TODAY’S PUZZLE:
The president who gave the longest inaugural speech ever had a very short term. How many days did it last?
YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (mouseover to see):
Search Google Maps for [Dvortsovaya Naberezhnaya] to learn that this street is the home of the Hermitage museum in Russia. Looking at the map, you see that the Neva River runs along it. Search [Neva river March] to learn that the Neva is usually frozen in March, so ships cannot navigate it.
