The surprising thing to me about all this is that I thought Google only
hires Ph. D.s who solve difficult mathematical problems displayed on

This was apparently based on my volume of postings on the forum. (I<br>
suspect not on their quality ;-) I suggested that first they look at my<br>
LinkedIn page, which would have roughly revealed my age -- already greater<br>
than yours will be when you 'come out of school'.<br>
<br>
Since then, nothing. Nada. Not even an acknowledgement. Rude, I call it.<br>

Doesn't seem to be age-related, though. (I'm 25)<br>
