Last month at Google I/O, Google unveiled the new Chromebooks from Acer and Samsung – the first of a totally new kind of connected computer. The first devices will ship on 24 June, but play your cards right and you can win one before then.

We’ve teamed up with the folks at Google to give you the chance to win one of three Chromebooks. All you have to do is crack an exclusive conundrum before anyone else. Get your thinking cap on, and read on to find out how you can be in with a chance of winning.

UPDATE: Not solved it yet? We’ve updated the post with a few clues for you.

UPDATE 2: The third and final clue is now published below.

Google has worked with their expert puzzle master to design a puzzle that should keep you busy for a while. If you’re up to the challenge and are one of the first three to come up with the correct solution, you can win a new Chromebook!

Note that this is only available to UK residents and you have to be 18 years or older to enter. Please see the official rules here. Good luck, and get cracking!

Clue 1: Look at the speedometer

Clue 2: Solve for one number

Clue 3: Find the three operators in the ‘alphabet’ and convert to a letter

      I think they are clues for one of the unreleased puzzles. Certainly the first puzzle was much easier than this one, and the clues made sense!

    Unfortunately these are actually the clue to the third puzzle, ‘Arithmetic’, which seems to have appeared today. Who cocked up, Google or Electricpig…?

      I’m just waiting to see if T3 release the clues for the Geometry puzzle.

        Ha! That one was (is) really hard – I haven’t worked it out. The Arithmetic one was fairly easy by comparison.

          you have solved the arithmetic puzzle? any clues? I am very stuck…

            The clues above apply to the arithmetic puzzle. Anyone know anything about puzzles 4 and 5? I thought they should have been released by now too.
