Google recruitment: mathematics, guessing, and whimsical

That's Google!

Terms all over the world! The most authentic fairy tale in the virtual world!

Google is headquartered in California, USA. It looks as luxurious as the fairy rock cave that will appear in mythology-hundreds of magic lava lights hanging on the portal porch; fitness balls and M & m's chocolate tolerance; chefs of the famous phantom orchestra gratefuldead are on a 24-hour wait to prepare free meals for their employees. electric scooters and children's toy cars travel between the Office, and employees are sitting and carrying documents.

In the office, a row of millionaires sitting in odd costumes held large shares of employees with a market value of $145.

My dream is to work here? Name your component first!

At the end of October, Google started a new round of employee recruitment ......

　Turning out the door

To become a Google programming engineer, you 'd better have a bit of imagination. Otherwise, don't go to Google. I'm afraid you don't even understand the recruitment advertisement!

At the end of October, Google published several professional magazines in the United States, such as the Massachusetts technical review, linuxjournal, Mensa, and today's physics, A Google lab competency disposition test was published ".

At the beginning of the exam, I was tempted to say "Try it! Send the answer back to Google. You hope to visit the Google headquarters and become one of us ".

There are only 21 problems in the test. The track is broken, and the sword is far from being used.

For example, how many combinations can be used to color 20 Faces in three colors? Which three colors will you choose ".

Without a clue: "What is the most beautiful mathematical equation in the world ?"

And countless free questions: "fill in the following blank space, fill in some good things" or "Use your paint brush to change the appearance of this examination paper "......

On the BBS of the world's top universities, this test is circulating, and a variety of definite or uncertain answers.

"Within a few days, Google headquarters received thousands of answers ." "Many of them come from economists, professors, and high IQ people," said Alan yastas, vice president of Google. They have no intention of applying for a job. They just want to challenge their abilities ."

　Reward "golden mind"

Google has allocated $50 thousand billion to talented programmers waiting for answers.

Google spent the money as long as it rushed to the last knockout round to entertain them for an interview at Google's "Fantastic headquarters" in California. If you are not selected, you can enjoy it for free.

Speaking of "luxury in hand", Google does not have to worry about it.

In addition to being kind to its own employees, paying high dividends and offering shares, and taking care of them like nursery children, Google also offers a "cash reward" on the Internet every year to recruit "Hunters" to write difficult programs.

Last year, sergiosan-cho, a program expert on the "king list", used a small program to get $10 thousand in compensation.

This Argentine programmer is happy. He has been working in the company for half a year and cannot earn this number.

　　Google uses full answer questions"

Last round of Google recruitment, just ended this summer.

It is also a "full-fledged question" that is not understood by "Scientific muttles". Moreover, it hangs on major subway stations in Silicon Valley. At the end of September, three 15-meter-long beige billboards simply flushed "(the first ten-digit number that can be found in the 'E' series ). com, no company name or any advertising word.

It took several seconds for the road talents to understand that this is a mathematical problem. Natural constant E (2.718281828 ......) Is the name of the target website.

Curious people can't help searching for answers from Google. The root cause is that this is Google's "hard bone" question.

Many later logged on to www.7427466391.com within the specified time. However, it is not the end of the dream. Google has played a prank and set up a small pavilion for "Masters" to rest on the mountainside.

In www.7427466391.com, I posted a more troublesome MATHEMATICAL question. After answering this question, I can get the password for accessing the next webpage.

After running the mathematical "marathon", 7500 "Survivors" entered the Google lab webpage and successfully submitted their resumes. At last, Google only needed 50 people. "Google can be regarded as a high level in advertising !"

"The target audience will think after they see the ads, 'This is my language, it's for me. 'For others, advertisements also greatly improve Google's image. They may think, 'I don't get this job. However, the people who work there are really smart '."
