Just like how Apple has WWDC, Google has Google I/O in which the company’s latest products, projects they are working on, and the development of Android, Chrome OS, and the likes are announced. This year’s Google I/O dates have yet to be confirmed, but it seems that maybe Google could be hinting at when.
In a tweet by Android Developer account, a mysterious puzzle was shared which seems to look almost Sudoku-like in nature. The first number is highlighted in green which is “19”, and the “/” is marked in orange which we guess could be short for a date. In between the boxes are various lines that range from 1 line to 4, which probably has some kind of significance.
Around the world, from here to there, to the most clever minds, the secret will share. #googledevs #savethedate https://t.co/YKJiAp3r3r pic.twitter.com/lhGDyvYvOW

Google is also asking that you “save the date” which links to this website. According to the website, there will be a total of 5 puzzles, 5 clues, and 5 places, meaning that Google plans to let this mysterious run for a while. We’re not sure if there is some kind of reward for solving these puzzles other than the sense of satisfaction, but if you do enjoy these kind of games then perhaps you’ll want to get started on it.
In the meantime Google is expected to release Android Wear 2.0 on the 9th of February along with some Android Wear devices, but we doubt that these puzzles are just for that particular event, which we don’t even know if it is true.
