Clever enough to work for Google? Here's the aptitude test...

Well, I know the answer to question 3...

2.

you must understand
middle-american brain
then predict the past

stuff like this makes me feel even MORE stupid because in addition to not knowing the answers, i can't even tell if this thing is real or not.

*technotard*

My husband suggests that the way to find the answer to these questions is to google them.

He came up with this idea after I posed the multiple choice team size question to him--he's a developer/release engineering manager--and he said "it depends on the project" (and the people involved, etc.)

Side, you're confusing ignorance with stupidity. Retard. Sheesh.

Sidedish -- those are the same thoughts that went through my head. Dammit, gotta go flip some more burgers.

I'll have fries with mine.

And a Laaaaaarrrrrrge Orrrrrrraaaanggge Drink!

chicken nuggets? what flavor sauce?

What question listed
determines capacity
for plodding good work?

These philosphy
gauges, these Fibonacci
inspired riddles

which determines the
lack of a larcenous heart?
The longing to lead?

What of Unix is
broken? This I may not know,
but it can be learned.

But can the service
of a seasoned Samurai,
who knows of patience,

and preparation,
be rendered onto card with
number two pencil?

I've been messing around with Google afain.

Googling -- peace -- yields 28,800,000 results
Googling -- war --> yields 98,200,000 results

Googling -- god --> 57,500,000 results
Googling -- girl --> 96,810,000 results

Googling -- poem --> 16,800,000 results
Googling -- song --> 39,500,000 results

Googling -- story --> 147,000,000 ressults
Googling -- art --> 194,000,000 results
Googling --> photo --> 202,000,000 results

Googling --> x --> 349,000,000 results
Googling --> you --> 1,010,000,000
Googling -- i(I) --> 1,370,000,000

Googling -- of -->3,920,000,000

Couldn't come up with any single item/word query that scores a greater number of results than that.

Is this the maximum number of results possible?

--- the --> 5 720 000 000

Well, I'll be damned. For years it's been telling me it doesn't do the and a. And now this.

O base and treacherous Google!

Thanks, Wolof, now I can go D'oh for the day.

Somethin' ain't right with that 'the' result.

I got a hard copy of this in the magazine/alumni publication of my alma mater....

This goes along with the billboards they have up in silicon valley and Cambridge, MA.

Apropos of nothing, but inspired by bees's post I offer you, The World According to Altavista and More of The World According to Altavista. A couple great pre-Google Domination-era gems from the Brunching Shutlecocks, RIP.

Weird, my "the" returned 5,840,000,000, 120,000,000 more than Wolof.

I'm with Space Coyote.

you can't possibly be serious...you mean to tell me that even the messengers have to take this test?

I don't think they have messengers, they just grok, or something.

Now Google returns only 5,800,000,000 for "the" -- it is not a fixed number!

Not fixed...uh, Google is broken?
Helphelphelp! The-sky-is-fallling!
