INTRODUCTION

Dear visitor, If you are reading this is because you have been chosen to take part on a very special mission as a member of a secret group of explorers. Unfortunately , one of the most valuable book (an old atlas) , has been stolen from the Biblioteca Capitolare di Verona -the oldest library in the world .

INTRODUCTION

The only way to recover it is by accomplishing a mission: you need to travel around Europe solving some tasks in order to obtain a five - digit code . If you manage to find out the right code, the safe where the book is kept will open. Are you ready? Good luck!

mission 1 : Paris, je t´aime!

Paris (nicknamed the "City of light") is the capital city of France, and the largest city in France. The area is 105 square kilometres (41 square miles), and around 2.15 million people live there. If suburbs are counted, the population of the Paris area rises to 12 million people. The Seine river runs through the oldest part of Paris, and divides it into two parts, known as the Left Bank and the Right Bank. It is surrounded by many forests. Popular things to do in Paris include visiting its famous French landmarks, like the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Louvre Museum, as well as trying some of the city's world-class cuisine and soaking up the Parisian atmosphere.

The Eiffel Tower is the quintessential Parisian monument and symbol, built by the engineer Gustave Eiffel for the Universal Exhibition of 1889, the centenary of the French Revolution. All of us tourists visit it, climb it and photograph it extensively. But there is one detail that will surely have passed unnoticed. If we have a powerful zoom lens and direct our lens towards the plinth on the first floor, we will discover a succession of names of 19th-century French scientists on all four sides: 72 in total, including 21 mathematicians. Of these, the most famous are: Lagrange, Laplace, Legendre, Cauchy, Monge and Fourier.

In order to obtain the first digit for your code you need to solve the following Maths quiz. Pay attention, because afterwards you will be asked a key question... Are you ready?

London calling

London is the capital city of the United Kingdom. It is situated in the southeast of the country and it is the biggest city in Britain and in Europe. About 12 percent of Britain’s overall population live in London. It is the seat of the central government of the country and of The Crown. London is made up of two ancient cities which are now joined together: The City of London, known as ‘the City’, which is the business and financial heart of the United Kingdom, and the City of Westminster, where Parliament and most government offices are located, as well as Buckingham Palace, the London official residence of the Queen and theRoyal family. The River Thames flows through the city.The Tower Bridge is the most famous one out of the 33 bridges that there are in London. London is the first city to host the Olympics three times (1908, 1948 and 2012) and it is twinned with New York, Moscow and Berlin.

London calling

There is no doubt that the UK has made an indispensable contribution to science, having long had an enormous impact on global STEM. The world as we know it would be a very different place without the valuable contributions of such important scientists as Isaac Newton (1643-1727), Charles Darwin (1809- 1882), Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958) and Charles Darwin (1809- 1882) or Stephen Hawking (1942- 2018).

Mission 4: When in Rome, do as Romans do

Rome, Italian Roma, is a historic city and capital of Roma provincia (province), of Lazio regione (region), and of the country of Italy. Rome is located in the central portion of the Italian peninsula, on the Tiber River about 15 miles (24 km) inland from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Once the capital of an ancient republic and empire whose armies and polity defined the Western world in antiquity and left indelible imprints thereafter, it remains today a political capital, a religious centre, and a memorial to the creative imagination of the past.

Rome houses some of the most renowned museums and art galleries worldwide. Apart from the Vatican Museums, the top museums in the city include the Galleria Borghese, the National Roman Museum or the National Gallery of Modern Art, to name but a few.

MISSION 5; It sounds greek to me!

Athens is the capital city of Greece and Europe's oldest capital. It is one of the most famous cities in the world and was very powerful in Classical times. The city is named after Athena, a goddess in Greek mythology. Athens has a population of approximately 4 million people and is growing. Parthenon is the central city landmark

One of the most unique and wonderful of Greek inventions was philosophy. Philosophy was the special way Greeks attempted to make sense out of the world, in a non-religious way. This means that rather than using myths and stories to understand the world, they would use their intelligence and reasoning skills.“Philo-” means love, and “-sophia” means wisdom, so the word “philosophy” really means “the love of wisdom.” Basically, philosophy is thinking about the world and making sense out of it. For example, early Greeks began asking the question, “What exists?” They questioned the world around them and tried to make sense out of what they saw. Other, different philosophies were developed, each of which tried to make sense out of the world.

In order to obtain the next code, you need to complete three different tasks. In the last task you will find the clue to obtain the next digit for the code you need... Good luck!
