There is something to be said for the novelty probably getting more interest, but I think that giving puzzles around the real work the hire will perform tells them as much about your company and the problems they can help you solve, as it t

That is one scary prospect. I think there are a bunch of people that would fall for such an offering. Look at how alot of the perks are already set up to comp you a drink or other such thing based on how long you have been playing. If you

Not getting picked should not necessarily reflect poorly on you... But if you try much harder you will just show that they were correct to avoid you. You do have spirit though, so do something useful with it instead of ranting about not be

I have seen programs to help with this digitization of graphs[1]. At times some data sets (the graphs) have no other raw data shown or available, so the only way to do further analysis is to reverse engineer the only data set you are given.

Strikes me as RPN - reverse polish notation, like what I used on the hp48 calculator. All the guys with TI89 cals seemed to do better for some reason, bit I digress.
