Yes, I called Mr. Google and Owen gets the job.

I also talked with a google employer yesterday. He is well known to many here but I won't mention his name because google sees it all. He said Richard wasn't that far off with what he wrote in this thread so it isn't clear if Owen should be happy or sad.
Please note: I am interested in boring, bog standard, 2/1.

What makes me think Owen gets the job and Echo doesn't? :D

Silly mathematicians living in the theoretical world.

In the real world, Gnome has the job. Owen didn't show his work. :D

If Owen is really going to work for Google in Mountain View, I wish him luck...

More importantly, I THOROUGHLY recommend a sushi joint in Cupertino called Kitsho
The aji no tataki is to die for and they have some great saki (Go with the dewazakura oka)

Make sure to eat at the sushi bar and order Omakase.

It's hard to argue with that.

But I would claim that Owen did show his work, and that he demonstrated a healthy dosis of common sense as well.

[Richard: I'm not likely to go to work at Google any time soon, but if I find myself in that part of California I'll try and remember the sushi recommendation.]

Matt: I showed working! Sheesh, how much do you want? :)

Now I'll take my dosis elsewhere.

Did you miss the release that Mr. Google had quit?
