FAQ
What's the random output above?
It's not random. This page is a simple puzzle for you to solve in order to submit your application. We like to hire curious people who are capable of independent problem solving.
This puzzle is too hard, how am I supposed to solve it?
This puzzle is actually very easy. All the answers for solving it are on this page. You'll face programming problems far more complicated than this on a daily basis in this job. If you can't solve this one perhaps this isn't the position for you.
This puzzle is too easy, can I have something more difficult?
That's the spirit! If you get through the hiring process we will have you solving real-world programming problems instead of simple puzzles.
Are you sure this page isn't broken?
Yes. If you send us an email telling us the page is broken, you'll be disqualified from the job application process. (Yes, some people actually do that.)
