This must be the first startup I have seen that is "passionate" about what they are trying to do!

tlrobinson5• 19 years ago

Meebo and Facebook have puzzles too.

jaed• 19 years ago

Uhmmm...check the source code.

juanpablo• 19 years ago

duh

insertcoin• 19 years ago

that's pretty pathetic. At least bury the 'puzzle' in a css or js file so that it's not the first thing you see.

< 15 minutes to solve. (I think. I come up with an answer string, but don't see anywhere that it would conceivably go?)

Firebug rocks.

rglullis8• 19 years ago

Is this supposed to be an all Javascript puzzle? I am passing the current time, and the damn thing still complains about the wrong token.

llimllib3• 19 years ago

passing the time worked for me

drusenko4• 19 years ago

you're about half way there...

tlrobinson5• 19 years ago

If it looked something like this you're not done:

No, I got to the DNA

altay3• 19 years ago

any other douglas adams fans in the house? =)

rglullis8• 19 years ago

Maybe I shouldn't have read so much Douglas Adams and got a little more focused on learning Javascript. The idea that I still haven't got past the first step pisses me off.

jamiequint• 19 years ago

If you don't like JS, curl should be your friend :D

tlrobinson5• 19 years ago

Does anyone know of any other job puzzles like this? The only ones I've seen are Facebook and Meebo:

veritas2• 19 years ago

Erm... this maybe a silly question, but how far are we supposed to take this?

davidmathers• 19 years ago

You're supposed to construct the most powerful computer that has ever existed. Use it to help you create an even more powerful computer. Then let it compute for 10+ million years, while protecting it from outside interferences.

Obviously.
