	The recruitment ploy certainly plays on mathematician Paul Ardos' famous quote: "A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems." In a kind of geek "Jeopardy," the billboard read:"{first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits e}.com." The answer, 7427466391.com, would lead a puzzle-sleuth to a Web page with yet another equation to solve, with still no sign the game was hosted by Google.

I've read a lot about contests that Google has held and almost all of the time they extend an invitation to the winners to work for them. I think that's pretty cool
