A Google-a-Day Puzzle for June 19

Geek Culture Internet

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:

What occupation did gunfighter Doc Holliday and patriot Paul Revere have in common?

YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (mouseover to see):

Search [Acer saccharum] to learn that it’s the sugar maple tree, whose sap is boiled to make maple syrup. Search [maple syrup sugar Canada] to find that syrup must be at least 66% sugar to qualify as maple syrup in Canada.
