Google Scouting For Brilliant Minds at M.I.T.
Eric Calouro | Sep 21, 2009 | Comments 4
In an attempt to recruit some brilliant minds, Google has posted a sign on the M.I.T. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) with a code.
You can see the detailed ‘ad’ of sorts to the left.
So far, apparently none of the geniuses students have been able to crack the code. It’s either that, or they could care less about the opportunity. A TechCrunch reader put it quite nicely:
“I think I know why no one at MIT has called into the number… it looks like they put the sign in the gym.” [see image after article break]
One thing’s for sure though: if you do crack it, you may have a future with Google. In actuality, the code is a substitution cipher which reveals a telephone number where you can leave your contact information.

And so the mighty TechCruch is duped by a few Network Marketing reps looking to recruit/enslave some intelligent internet kids.
Blog summary of the entire saga:

I broke the code, and called the number, no one answer the phone, it was just a fax, why?
@Pat: Maybe you should FAX your resume?
How to break the code ? Can you mail the method to me? I am very interested in the code. Thank you.
