:I've lurked here for a while, but I'm truly stumped on this one for the symbol quest:
Lewis Einstein writes that The Italian Renaissance in England commenced virtually about this year.
I've tried everything I can think of, but I can't find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:Hey, I have discovered that you cannot complete the quests succesfully if you live outside of the USA. Google Books limits the viewing of essential pages unless. Take a look at http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=507663&p=22#r425

:Inis, I used the Book Search on Google and tried a bunch of different searches, but finally just ended up putting in the phrase "words divided tons numismatic chronicle" and searched that and there it was. I think I had been making it harded than it really was the first few times I tried. Plus it had already taken me forever just to solve the puzzle to get that far. I was either going to find the answer to the question or else!

:Nicholas Irving -- I'm outside the US, and have had no problems so far! :)
Sleeperhit
:Nicholas Irving -- Lol, whatever. I live ourside US also and have no problems. If you cant find it using google you know there are other ways to find out the answer. Sometimes its even faster to look through a damn Encyclopedia. Not tough to figure these out. Good isn't 'necessary' other then housing the quest.
Inis
:Nicholas Irving, you are right! If you are using proxy the pages are displayed in a different way. It seems the things were tougher to people outside the US on day20 ! Thanks for the information!
Inis
:Karla - I did the search like you did - but this time using a proxy - finally it was possible to see the answer, it's amazing how an ip address can change the view LOL . Tks for your answer!
Wickedpygmy
:thanks for the heads up on proxies

:Day 20 isn't really as difficult as it first appears. The question: There is a painting of the Head of Medusa in the Royal Uffizi Gallery in Florence, usually attributed to Leonardo. What is its catalogue number in the 1890 catalogue of the museum?
It gives you a link right there to find it:
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
Just go to www.books.google.com and type in the keywords "Royal Uffizi Gallery catalogue 1890". The very first result is the right one. Simply "search" within the book for "Head of Medusa" then click on the right one (the Leonardo one).
Kitty Hawk
:If anyone could help me on the Sudoku Symbol challenges for days 13 and 19, I would be most grateful. I don't have a mind for those things, and I've been working on both of them for several hours. Thanks!

:My questions for day 20 is Leonardo da Vinci's painting of The Adoration of the Magi hangs in the Royal Uffizi Gallery in Florence. According to the 1890 catalogue of the museum, in what colors was it sketched?
I can't find this anywhere and the google books page is restricted. If Nicholas is right and people outside the US have trouble seeing certain pages, can somebody in the US please find this answer for me on google books.
Kitty Hawk
:All right, I'll have pity on those who can't view books.google.com.

:Why do you all have to be so blooming cryptic - if someone is on this website, the chances are they'll want answers, not cyptic rubbish. Instead of constantly giving web addresses which often don't work; can you just do that little spoiler thing? I appreciate that there are some that might prefer to follow your cryptic clues but for those who don't it would be nice of you to just tell them the answers. I apologize to those who do give the answers but, unfortunately, mine hasn't been up yet. This Adoration of the Magic catalogue number thing? Any help would be appreciated.
Suzie
:I am with Coupey - I need to know what the third present was, can't find it anywhere
