Only slightly related, but does anyone remember the code puzzles that FB had as a filter for the interview process? Specifically one (jurassic island?) where you would connect to a shared server and take control of a dinosaur on the island. Eventually when you gathered enough energy to lay an egg, you could spawn another connection to control that dino. I had no hope of having a competitive score on the leaderboard, but I loved playing around with that little world. Edit: Found more info on dinosaur island: https://github.com/robertdimarco/puzzles/tree/master/facebook-careers/dinoisland https://github.com/robertdimarco/puzzles/tree/master/faceboo...
