A Google-a-Day Puzzle for Jan. 7

Our good friends at Google run a daily puzzle challenge and asked us to help get them out to the geeky masses. Each day’s puzzle will task your googling skills a little more, leading you to Google mastery. Each morning at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time you’ll see a new puzzle, and the previous day’s answer (in invisitext) posted here.

SPOILER WARNING:
We leave the comments on so people can work together to find the answer. As such, if you want to figure it out all by yourself, DON’T READ THE COMMENTS!

Also, with the knowledge that because others may publish their answers before you do, if you want to be able to search for information without accidentally seeing the answer somewhere, you can use the Google-a-Day site’s search tool, which will automatically filter out published answers, to give you a spoiler-free experience.

And now, without further ado, we give you…

TODAY’S PUZZLE:

Was it James Madison or Benjamin Franklin who was forbidden to draft the Declaration of Independence alone, because he might add jokes?

YESTERDAY’S ANSWER (mouseover to see):

Search [tallest mountain Americas] to find that Aconcagua in Argentina is the tallest in the Americas, at 22,834 feet. Enter [define:demonym] and learn that it’s the name for people who live in a particular place. [Largest city Argentina] reveals Buenos Aires, and [demonym Buenos Aires] shows that its inhabitants are called porteños, or “people of the port.”)
