Google Puzzle Championship

by Chris Gilmer Jul 12th 2006

google puzzle champtionshipThe Google puzzle championship is over. The contest that started Saturday June 17, contained 23 challenging puzzles. Google highly doubted that any one person could finish all of the puzzles in the aloted time frame of 2.5 hours.

Points from the contest were allocated based on the time the specific puzzle was completed in. Some of the puzzles in the list were deemed more important by Google, thus, more point value was assigned to them. Even though they were presented from easiest to hardest, some might have been valued more then others. Incorrect answers were docked 5 points.

The official puzzles are located online now, along with answers.

This was an awesome way for Google to scout the talent of people in the US who think differnet, and at a level that could benefit Google's development.

Google set to open facility in Ann Arbor

google ann arbor michaganReports have surfaced that Google plans to open up a Google AdWords headquarters in Ann Arbor Michigan. Hiring close to 1000 individuals to oversee the main hub for Google's driving revenue source.

Google has already started posting positions for the AdWords headquarters on is HR pages. With the current category being Operations and IT. At the current time of posting, Google had two openings posted. One for Book Search Operations Supervisor and one for Book Search Operations Technician. Not sure how these fit into AdWords, but I guess Google could be running some smaller localized search divisions out of the AdWords HQ.

Google's new facility in Ann Arbor is sure to help out Michigan's slower economy, and give it a nice refreshing boost, and renewed rejuvenation. Google sought out this facility in Michigan due to the talent that was coming out of local Michigan Universities. As an incentive package, the State of Michigan is offering Google $38 million in tax breaks over 20 years for the development of its facility, with Google's expectations that the office be up and running by fall 2006.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
