Area Rug Plays Part in Ongoing Da Vinci Code Mystery

Dan Brown, author of the Da Vinci Code, left some cryptic messages in a hotel in Scotland. Was he just having fun or was this an attempt to make news and keep discussion of the book going.

Brown recently checked out of the Witchery Hotel in Edinburgh but not before leaving behind a cryptic code (93065) in permanent ink under one of the rugs in his £275-a-night Armoury Suite and leaving a riddle in the guest book. HotelChatter

I was kind of wondering how they found the writing underneath the area rug in the first place. For over $360 dollars per night I hope they weren’t sweeping the dust under there.
