Like puzzles? Get ready for the Day in the Cloud Challenge on June 24th
June 11, 2009
Posted by Corey Anderson, Software Engineer (and puzzle creator)
Flying 500 miles per hour at a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet, it always seemed odd that I could use approved electronic devices, but I couldn't get online to chat or send an email. Luckily, the Wright brothers have been catching up with
the cloud
, and airlines like
Virgin America
have rolled out in-flight WiFi across their fleet.
To celebrate, we've teamed up with Virgin America to provide complimentary WiFi on all flights on June 24th, and we're co-hosting a timed online scavenger hunt called the
Day in the Cloud Challenge
. Whether you're going to be in the air or on the ground on that day,
you're invited
to participate in the challenge and can sign up at
www.dayinthecloud.com
.
If you use Gmail, there's a good chance you already have a leg up because some of the questions will involve your knowledge of Gmail (plus, you'll need a
Google Account
to play). To give you a little practice, we've just revealed some
practice questions
.
Curious how some people are getting ready for the challenge? Check out this video:
