> It refers to a strategy that google used in hiring Thank you RADEMAKERS. Here's a link to an article: http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2004/09/09/comprehension_test/
One paragraph from the article: However, anyone who solves the puzzle (by combining the first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits of e with ".com" and entering it into a Web browser) discovers that the website named for the solution, www.7427466391.com, only gives you directions to another website with another vexing math problem. Solve that, and you get to an internal Google page that praises "your big, magnificent brain" and invites you to apply for a job. In keeping with the original poser (um, poster), I am trying to have a little fun mixed with a little seriousness. This style of humor appeals to me most: You laugh at first, but then realize that the person was being serious. I first got turned on to this type of humor watching Archie Bunker. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RADEMAKERS Tanguy Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 10:14 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [CFCDev] Google with CFCs? close. you're spamming yourselves - he's sent two mails (out of 28 in this thread right now). what the hell, it's a slow time of the year, i'd say keep feeding him. /t btw: the mail about the 10 digit prime wasn't from our friend, it was from Philip Stern. It refers to a strategy that google used in hiring: publish a test/question/enigma whose answer is then used in a url... one of those was "First 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits of e". Think of it as an internet easter egg hunt. >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bill Rawlinson >Sent: Thursday, December 22, 2005 4:06 PM >To: [email protected] >Subject: Re: [CFCDev] Google with CFCs? > >I'm starting to think this guy is just spamming us. > >his last response about the 10 digit prime really had no bearing on >the subject did it? > >Bill >On 12/22/05, Scott Stroz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Please...Please...tell me you are kidding! >> >> -- >> Scott Stroz >> Boyzoid.com >> ___________________________ >> Some days you are the dog, >> Some days you are the tree. >> ---------------------------------------------------------- >> >> You are subscribed to cfcdev.
