Mystery Billboard: Solved!
9Oct2004 Filed under: LinkageWho was it who I was talking to about the “mystery billboard” downtown? The one with the weird mathmatical equation that ended in .com? We thought it was really ineffective advertising (it must have been someone from work, then…I don’t talk effective advertising with many other folks), and we’ve just been proven horribly wrong. It was advertising for a very narrow, perfectly identified demographic: InsideGoogle: Solve the Equation, Get an Interview at Google.
Oh and speaking of google, if there’s anyone who still needs a gmail invitation, you can email me directly at arielmeadow @ gmail.

Very cool! Actually, it’s not an equation that’s needed. Rather, one would probably need to write a program to look through the digits of the mathematical constant E (2.71828…) to find the first 10-digit string that is also a prime.
The correct answer takes you here: http://7427466391.com. (Still no indication that you’re moving toward an interview at Google. I love it!)
