10月底，Google在美国《麻省技术评论》、《LinuxJournal》、《Mensa》、《今日物理》等几本专业杂志上，刊登了一份“Google实验室能力倾向测试”。试卷开头，蛊惑地写着“试试看！把答案寄回Google，你有希望去Google总部参观，并成为我们其中一员”。我看了这些题目，虽然古怪，但是也不算有困难，有兴趣的人可以做完了邮寄给google公司，也许会得到一个工作机会呢。（注：不要向我要答案。）1.Solvethiscrypticequation，realizingofcoursethatvaluesforMandEcouldbeinterchanged.Noleadingzerosareallowed.WWWDOT-GOOGLE=DOTCOM2.Writeahaikudescribingpossiblemethodsforpredictingsearchtrafficseasonality.3.111211211111221Whatisthenextline？4.Youareinamazeoftwistylittlepassages，allalike.Thereisadustylaptopherewithaweakwirelessconnection.Therearedull，lifelessgnomesstrollingabout.Whatdostthoudo？A）Wanderaimlessly，bumpingintoobstaclesuntilyouareeatenbyagrue.B）Usethelaptopasadiggingdevicetotunneltothenextlevel.C）PlayMPoRPGuntilthebatterydiesalongwithyourhopes.D）Usethecomputertomapthenodesofthemazeanddiscoveranexitpath.E）EmailyourresumetoGoogle，telltheleadgnomeyouquitandfindyourselfinwholedifferentworld.5.What'sbrokenwithUnix？Howwouldyoufixit？6.OnyourfirstdayatGoogle，youdiscoverthatyourcubiclematewrotethetextbookyouusedasaprimaryresourceinyourfirstyearofgraduateschool.Doyou：A）Fawnobsequiouslyandaskifyoucanhaveanautograph.B）Sitperfectlystillanduseonlysoftkeystrokestoavoiddisturbingherconcentration.C）LeaveherdailyofferingsofgranolaandEnglishtoffeefromthefoodbins.D）Quoteyourfavoriteformulafromthetextbookandexplainhowit'snowyourmantra.E）Showherhowexample17bcouldhavebeensolvedwith34fewerlinesofcode.7.WhichofthefollowingexpressesGoogle□over-archingphilosophy？A）"I'mfeelinglucky"B）"Don'tbeevil"C）"Oh，Ialreadyfixedthat"D）"Youshouldneverbemorethan50feetfromfood"E）Alloftheabove8.Howmanydifferentwayscanyoucoloranicosahedronwithoneofthreecolorsoneachface？Whatcolorswouldyouchoose？9.Thisspaceleftintentionallyblank.Pleasefillitwithsomethingthatimprovesuponemptiness.10.Onaninfinite，two-dimensional，rectangularlatticeof1-ohmresistors，whatistheresistancebetweentwonodesthatareaknight'smoveaway？11.It's2PMonasunnySundayafternoonintheBayArea.You'reminutesfromthePacificOcean，redwoodforesthikingtrailsandworldclassculturalattractions.Whatdoyoudo？12.Inyouropinion，whatisthemostbeautifulmathequationeverderived？13.WhichofthefollowingisNOTanactualinterestgroupformedbyGoogleemployees？A.Women'sbasketballB.BuffyfansC.CricketeersD.NobelwinnersE.Wineclub14.Whatwillbethenextgreatimprovementinsearchtechnology？15.Whatistheoptimalsizeofaprojectteam，abovewhichadditionalmembersdonotcontributeproductivityequivalenttothepercentageincreaseinthestaffsize？A）1B）3C）5D）11E）2416.GivenatriangleABC，howwouldyouuseonlyacompassandstraightedgetofindapointPsuchthattrianglesABP，ACPandBCPhaveequalperimeters？（AssumethatABCisconstructedsothatasolutiondoesexist.）17.Considerafunctionwhich，foragivenwholenumbern，returnsthenumberofonesrequiredwhenwritingoutallnumbersbetween0andn.Forexample，f（13）=6.Noticethatf（1）=1.Whatisthenextlargestnsuchthatf（n）=n？18.What'sthecoolesthackyou'veeverwritten？19.'Tisknowninrefinedcompany，thatchoosingKthingsoutofNcanbedoneinwaysasmanyaschoosingNminusKfromN：IpickK，youtheremaining.Findthoughacoolerbijection，whereyoushowaknackuncanny，ofmakingyourchoicescontainallKofmine.Oh，forpedantry：letKbenomorethanhalfN.20.Whatnumbercomesnextinthesequence：10，9，60，90，70，66，？A）96B）10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000C）EitheroftheaboveD）Noneoftheabove21.In29wordsorfewer，describewhatyouwouldstrivetoaccomplishifyouworkedatGoogleLabs.
