New Delhi: The Da Vinci Code fever is still in the air. The author of the best-seller, Dan Brown, reportedly scribbled a mysterious code on the floorboards of a hotel in Scotland and left it for the staff to crack.
He apparently concealed the code with a rug, just before checking out. The staff at the luxurious Witchery Hotel in Edinburgh reported that the code was written in permanent ink and made reference to paintings in the £275-a-night Armoury Suite, where the author was put up during his week-long stay.
Brown is also said to have left a riddle in the guest book and scrawled his signature and the numbers 93065 on the floor.
When the hotel contacted Brown, he confirmed that the inscription and riddle had been left behind by him as a challenge to the hotel.
This has the owner of the Witchery and another Edinburgh hotel, the Prestonfield, so impatient to discover crack the code, that he is offering a luxury prize to the first guest who can get to the bottom of it.
Brown’s riddle and code comes as the latest piece in a tradition of celebrity guests who leave mementoes at the Witchery. Movie legend and art lover Jack Nicholson drew a self-portrait in the guest book and Simpsons' creator Matt Groening drew a series of Homer Simpson cartoons.
