I've read the PDF file explaining the mental effort behind this design.

It's seriously unlikable - more muddled, less interesting and conceptually uglier than any Rube Goldberg cartoon picked at random.

Wow. If I was given that question and saw the answer, I'd walk right out of the interview. And if I saw this posted on a tech web site and spent some time thinking about it, then saw the answer, my opinion of said site would be lessened.

That is truly stupid.

There seems to be clear consensus among the commenters. I recommend you yank this page to avoid further
embarrassment.

OK, here's another puzzle. You run a new technology blog. Your page layout is lackluster, and you launched in the middle of a recession. But the great unwashed of Seattle are rooting you on. What kind of article should you write to drum up visits to your site?

The answer is a single word.

here's a better hint: you don't need to know anything about computer science. at all.

also these aren't puzzles they're cryptograms.

It looks like there is a massive back door and seven different shady looking characters are using their unauthorized access to search every nook and cranny of the place. Does this represent Windows 7?

looks like their directions correspond to a binary value. there are 2 spys pointing right that have values of 0100 and 1001 and since there's also a spy pointing left with 0100, it seems the "bad guy" is the right pointing 0100...

what's the question? Presumably you do something with the spy vs spy guys' binary lables? in decimal they're 4, 5, 9, and 14.
