WEEK 3 - TREASURE HUNT
According to Money Week magazine and Neatorama.com the world's largest machine is the Hadron Collider which weighs more than 38,000 tonnes an runs for 27km and cost 3.5 billion pounds to build. I found this information using ixquick.com and bing.com
http://www.neatorama.com/2008/09/12/10-things-about-the-large-hadron-collider-you-wanted-to-know-but-were-afraid-to-ask/- Once again I used ixquick.com to search for the contact details of Ozzy Osbourne and found the contact details for Ozzy's manager Sharon (who is also his wife).

But after closer examination I believe really only one fits the criteria better than the others. That being Morse Code which was invented by Samuel Morse in 1835. An interesting tidbit is that the first morse code message sent from Washington to Baltimore was, "What hath God wrought?".

But after doing some searching using ixquick.com, I found a website called BestFlights.com.au which allows to search for the best flights on any airline to any location around the world and also let you compare the different prices on each of the airlines.
Hatsune Miku is the first and most popular installment in the Vocaloid2 Character Vocal series created by Crypton Future Media. Hatsune Miku name means, "first sound of from the future" - by combining Hatsu (first), Ne (sound), and Miku (future). Hatsune Miku's voice was created by sampling the voice of Japanese voice artist Saki Fujita. Her Birthday is often credited as 31 August 2007. - The department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts Australian Antarctic Division has four accessible live webcams located in Antarctica as well as other interesting facts about Antarctica.For all those snow lovers out there this is your lucky day, Antarctica has numerous places to stay. So if the 24/7 snow scene's your go the Antarctica Travel Guide website I found using ixquick.com is for you.

At this level scientists are able to harness the unique properties that particles of matter posess at this level. Nanotechnology holds promise in the quest for ever more powerful computers and communication devices. But an even more promising field for nanotechnology is the field of Medical Science with in the future nanotechnology being able to be programmed to seek out certain disease's in the human body and destroy those infected cells while leaving the good cells untouched. This would be a revolution if possible in the fight against cancer, where patients wouldn't have to undergo the rigmarole of radiation therapy that attacks both good cells and bad.
http://www.nano.gov/html/facts/whatIsNano.html - After doing a search for Google street-view camera produced masses of pages relating to Google street-view that weren't very informative. I came across a website with the information I needed called 'Gizmodo'. According to Gizmodo the camera that Google uses for it's street-view feature is called an Immersive Media Camera tht is capable of taking shots in 360 degrees, hence the 360 degree view with Google street-view.

So most of the Klingon translators provide you with limited broken translations of the week 3 treasure hunt questions.
