I got a Google Foobar challenge back in 2022. Never ended up completing more than the first level, but would be interesting to know if they're still using it fo

  Last I heard they'd stopped it. The site still seems to exist though, maybe it came back. The last problem on mine was really interesting, took me days. I wonder if there's a list of the problems somewhere, I thought I remember hearing that they weren't all the same. I never did continue with the recruiting part of it, just had some fun.

    The team behind it still exists.

    I loved that puzzle site. I don't think I have ever been as hooked by programming as when I worked on those puzzles. Managed to get thrown out after completing level 5 by requesting another puzzle and forgetting about it. I even sent a support ticket begging to be let in again. If someone at the team sees this, I'd appreciate it :) The last level for me was to write a function that evaluated sum([floor(i*sqrt(2)) for i in range(1,n+1)]) for 0 < n < 10**100. It was the first time I ever had use for my Knuth books. It was quite detrimental to work performance though. Never heard from a recruiter, but I guess they don't employ developers in Norway.

    I got the website three months ago, I just did the first puzzle and then stopped because I had to make way too many exercises for the classes I was taking and never entered the second challenge in.
