Taking the GLATs

I was reading the school paper today (The Daily Texan at UT Austin) and found this little "test" form - GLAT or Google Labs Aptitude Test. It's got 21 questions ranging from fill in the blank to multiple choice. It comes with a envelope for you to submit your answers to Google... I'm thinking this is some sort of job scouting thing that Google is doing (cuz they mention several times during the test about sending your resume to Google). Here are some of the sample questions:

1. Solve this cryptic equation, realizing of course that values for M and E could be interchanged. No leading zeros are allowed:

WWWDOT - GOOGLE = DOTCOM

5. What's broken with Unix? How would you fix it?

7. Which of the following expresses Google's over-arching philosophy?
A) "I'm feeling lucky"
B) "Don't be evil"
C) "Oh, I already fixed that"
D) "You should never be more than 50 feet from food"
E) All of the above

12. In your opinion, what is the most beautiful math equation ever derived?

being a EE, this is one of my favorites:

10. On an infinite, two-dimensinal, rectangular lattice of 1-ohm resistors, what is the resistance between two nodes that are a knight's move away?

time to go back to work...🙂
