It's nice to know that (if I had the time) I feel that I could complete about 20 of the 22 questions on that Google Labs Aptitude Test (http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=122411&cid=10294224).
Examples:
(Software Engineering)
What is the optimal size of a project team, above which additional members do not contribute productivity equivalent to the percentage increase in the staff size?
A) 1
B) 3
C) 5
D) 11
E) 24
(Programming Languages)
Solve this cryptic equation, realizing of course that values for M and E could be interchanged. No leading zeros are allowed.
WWWDOT - GOOGLE = DOTCOM
(Operating Systems, Linux Lab) What's broken with Unix? How would you fix it?
(Distributed Computing, AI) What will be the next great improvement in search technology?
(CS 180)
Consider a function which, for a given whole number n, returns the number of ones required when writing out all numbers between 0 and n. For example, f(13) = 6. Notice that f(1) = 1. What is the next largest n such that f(n) = n?
(Writing Enhanced Classes)
In 29 words or fewer, describe what you would strive to accomplish if you worked at Google Labs.
To my teachers, I'm sure it seems like I could care less about my classes, but that just isn't true. It just seems that way because I'm lazy. I think we're all getting a fine education for our buck.
And as aside, maybe we can use this as a contest for the some of the CS groups on campus. Of course, we'd need the right answers...
