Take from slashdot...
"Commuters in Cambridge, Mass., are scratching their heads over signs challenging passers-by to solve a complicated math problem. The mysterious banners are actually a job-recruiting pitch from Google." http://www.npr.org/features/feature.php?wfId=3916173 and http://developers.slashdot.org/artic...&tid=217&tid=8 So basically, it's a huge sign that says "{first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits of e}.com" which is the address of a webpage with another puzzle... and the people who solve it might get a chance to work for Google as a "brainy engineer." So...anyone up for it? Sorry if it's in the wrong forum...I was deciding between this and chit chat. |

I solved this a while back.
The URL is: 7427466391.com The digits of each of the numbers shown on that site add up to 49. I quickly wrote the following ass-program and got the answer: Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <limits.h>
using namespace std;
const string e = "27182818284590452353602874713526624977572470936999595749669676277240766303535475945713821785251664274274663919320030599218174135966290435729003342952605956307381";
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
for (long start = 0; start < e.length() - 9; start++) {
int sum = 0;
for (long i = start; i < start + 10; i++) {
sum += strtoll(e.substr(i, 1).c_str(), (char **)NULL, 10);
}
if (sum == 49) {
cout << e.substr(start, 10) << "\n";
}
}
return 0;
}

I solved it to they gave me a job and i quit in 3 days and got a 120 dollar employment check. I tried to cash it but couldn't because I wasn't 18. So I threw it away.

Ok, enough guys.
This has been solved, and posted on every message board, and everyone has read it. I belive google has stoped taking resumes from the site. If you want this thread to remain open, please keep it semi-related.
