These posters were placed infront of universities for possible positions at McKinsey & Company, with the phone number written as a formula. Only students smart enough to figure out were able to apply.

great idea! Good way to do a first candidate-filtering easy.

**BeksTeene** · 09-30-2006, 06:16 AM

I suck at math and I could solve that.

...with a little help from a trusty old book.

**Feelundseenna** · 09-30-2006, 06:19 AM

Sure if they want smart people. Wise people on the other hand...

**ZZtop** · 09-30-2006, 06:22 AM

that's the most retarded thing I have ever seen...

A 12 year old can solve that

**RenyBontes** · 09-30-2006, 06:47 AM

But then they probably just want people that follow orders.

I thought it would be hard till I zoomed in and looked. They give you the variables! I wish they did that in my math class

**Tic Tac Took** · 09-30-2006, 08:02 AM

That math is child's play. Just for the fact that they give you the variable.

No fun if you have the answer.

That looks easy... Just uberfoil

**arriftell** · 09-30-2006, 08:38 AM

I think the answer is 12.

**JMLot** · 09-30-2006, 02:27 PM

I think the answer is 12.

Obviously, the answer is 42. [rolleyes]

**yurawerj** · 09-30-2006, 03:18 PM

lol. didnt saw they gave the value.very easy to solve and no need to be an engineer, just be able to do basic math.

btw, you guys are both wrong. its neither 42 or 12. we're actually looking for a phone # here
