Well thinking there was a pattern to the occurances was going in the wrong direction.

I did that to one of the numbers, but after I couldn't do anything with the answer, I didn't continue doing that to the rest of them. Would have been a lot better if it was 42, though.

Well, I just saw something on TV about this Google recruiting thing. They said (and I came in at the very end, so I may be wrong) that Google has ended the contest/whatever, and that the solution can be found by a search on Google. Don't know what to search for exactly, so I haven't found it yet.

Did anyone have any luck with this?

Quite creative
if you got the job without an interview or anything by just being the first 10 to answer it, it would be really cool

hmm... google still has those billboards hung up around here (Boston). There's one about a block from my campus and two in the Harvard Square T-station. Their new tactics include taking out full-color double-page spreads in my campus newspaper with more number puzzles.
