| Posted by: crosswor | | I have to crack the following anagrams:
O Draconian Devil
Oh Lame Saint
Harvest a Wet Kite
The answers are all in The Da Vinci Code. I found the first two. They’re Leonardo Da Vinci and The Mona Lisa. That’s simple enough because these anagrams are anyway cracked in the book. I went through the book but I can’t find the last. I think it must be the name of a character or group or work of art or perhaps even a place.
Anyone who’s read the book or seen the movie and remembers the names: can you think what that last one might be? Thanks. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: Whidden | | I put it in a anagram generator, and got a 1000 hits, most of them gibberish, some looked like they might fit.
Thieves Tweak Art
Taketh Verse Wait
Taketh Eve Its Raw
Taketh Eve Its War
Theist Avert Weak
The words, atheist and harvast all also in there. | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: mystic | | Why try the anagram if one hasnt read it? Well, "whatever it takes" I guess.  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: mystic | | HEY! Did my "whatever it takes/harvest a wet kite" anagram get missed? | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: crosswor | | Thanks a lot to everyone for their replies. I think “Whatever it takes” makes the most sense, but I’m sure the answer is the name of something that is in the book. Or something, some phrase related to the book or the story in some way.
If you want to check out the contest for any possible clues, it’s here:

| Posted by: mystic | | It might be something in the book, but nothing came to mind for me. I know it was not an anagram in the book, as was the other two, which were used pretty much in the beginning. The other wasnt as obvious.
Its possible that you might be putting too much into it.
Whatever it takes to solve it...just as they did whatever it took in the book as well.
Did you read the book?  | | Reply To this Message

| Posted by: crosswor | | i read the book a year ago and then looked thru every page again a few days ago when trying to solve the anagrams.
i guess it could be whatever it takes...i can't make out from the contest rules whether i'm allowed to send more than 1 entry. if yes, i'll gladly send this solution and then keep hunting for more. | | Reply To this Message

I cant say whether this is right or not...it made perfect sense to me.
It does make more sense than anything else, but thats because I couldnt find anything else to fit.

Breaking the DaVinci code says....Jesus was so committed to His ministry that he was single. It doesn't make sense that someone whose entire ministry was to save the entire world would have time or even the purpose of marriage and raising a family....
I urge people to check out the book...they sell it in major bookstores... |
Well, if a book that tries to discredit a fictional book that spins the stories in another book says it, it must be true

| Posted by: HECK! | | I don't, I believe whatever Dan Brown tells me. He's just so dreamy, he makes me give up believing in everything except Dan Brown.

| Posted by: HECK! | | Well, I have one, but Dan Brown gave it to me. His history books like The Da Vinci Code give me all the knowledge I need
