Don't forget - Google has a culture they're protecting. I'll play devil's advocate and say while it's maybe not immediately useful, it's probably a very good test for culture fit. If you're the kind of person who thinks about the math of algorithms in your free time, because you enjoy it or think it's fundamentally important, you're probably more likely to be a Google culture fit. If you're a successful product shipper, but you have an aggressive "get shit done" attitude and don't care much about the science and math, maybe you are not going to make the discussions with fellow Googlers that Google envisions happening around campus, or maybe you're likely to be highly success/ money oriented or I don't know, go against the culture fit criteria in some way.
