Google a Day

What resource do you turn to when you have a question?  For many people (including librarians) the answer is: Google.  The Internet has given us all the ability to enter a few keywords, press search, and instantly have several web pages available with potential answers.  Google recently came out with a new tool to help everyone hone their search skills: Google a Day.

The premise is simple: a question is posed (e.g. "An 11-foot bird lives less than two miles from 30.891383, -102.885032. What’s his name?"), you perform a search that you think will work, then submit your answer.  Google will then reveal the answer and their search strategy.  This allows you to learn the many ways of searching the Internet for answers, perhaps even new methods.  Google has even set-up a pre-question version of the Internet, Deja Google, to prevent current discussion of the question from appearing in the results.
