* ContrivedCoincidence: The story takes place a few days before Graduation, but the characters are able to escape the campus cops by blending in with a public naked party to celebrate the first snowstorm of the year. Graduation is in May, that would have to be an extraordinary year for it to be the first snow in NewJersey.

A 2005 novel written by two college students about unraveling the mystery of a 500-year-old (real) book called the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, with a murder mystery thrown in for good measure. Most of the action occurs at Princeton, which occasionally makes ''The Rule of Four'' read like a campus tour guide/campus spirit flier. Nevertheless, it's an enjoyable book for cryptography or history buffs.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotSymbolic - The manuscript itself is a gigantic mess of Renaissance symbolism, and that symbolism is an important part of the decryption process. Think ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' written by LeonardoDaVinci and you get a good idea.
