Oh man. I love this encylopedia. Once, I found a little website that had a series of increasingly difficult, Project Euler style coding problems. After a while, it turned out to be a google recruiting tool. But while I was playing the games, I had to use the OEIS more than once. It’s such an obscure, nerdy tool. I realky like it.
- kccqzy 3y agoThe website you mention was, I believe, Google Foobar. Here's a nice article about it https://www.turing.com/kb/foobar-google-secret-hiring-technique https://www.turing.com/kb/foobar-google-secret-hiring-techni... It was internally called Rabbit Hole. In true killed-by-Google fashion, they killed this recruiting tool too. It was formerly available at https://foobar.withgoogle.com/ https://foobar.withgoogle.com/ They also used to have on-site versions of such programming contests. I've been to the one at their Los Angeles office twice. Very nice memories.

- ok123456 3y agoI did the same thing. I solved all the levels. I got random emails from Google trying to recruit me for a while. I had no interest in working for them. I just wanted to solve programming puzzles in a time before it got dysfunctionally commodified industry-wide.
