A Google-a-Day Puzzle for Sunday, May 22nd

As we?ve reported before, our good friends over at Google are starting up a daily puzzle challenge. Each day?s puzzle will task your googling skills a little more, leading you to Google mastery.

And much to our enjoyment, they?ve decided to share the puzzles with us at GeekDad (hmm? Google a Day? GD? GeekDad?), so each morning at 12:01am ET you?ll see a new puzzle, and the previous day?s answer (in invisitext) posted here.

SPOILER WARNING: As a test, we?re going to 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?

TODAY?S PUZZLE:

I was celebrated as the paladin of Uruk, but my legacy is in the realm of ancient literature. Who am I?

YESTERDAY?S ANSWER (HIGHLIGHT TO SEE):

Search [waterless place]. Find that ?waterless place? is the translation of the Mongolian word ?Gobi? or ?Gobi Desert.? Search [Gobi Desert George found eggs] to find a book that tells of George Olsen unearthing the first whole dinosaur eggs in 1923.

Ken is a husband and father from the San Francisco Bay Area, where he works as a civil engineer. He also wrote the NYT bestselling book "Geek Dad: Awesomely Geeky Projects for Dads and Kids to Share."
