Here's a great way to weed out the idiots who never should have applied for the job in the first place. McKinsey & Company is a prestigious consulting firm who only offers jobs to recent grads who are super smart and stuff. So, they wrote their phone number in a complex mathematical formula that job seekers had to solve before they could even call the firm. I imagine "sorry, you must have the wrong number" would start to feel more like "sorry, you must have crap for brains." The problem is x=24, y=30 Phone:=01.(y²-x).(y²-10²)x10 Let me know if any of you solve it.
Morons need not apply

i got 700 and then 4 more numbers. which makes me think i am close. i don't get what the "01.(" means. does it mean just "1" if so why the 0 in front of it. anybody know? i think since i don't understand it, it must be unsolveable.
Problem: x=24, y=30 Phone:=01.(y²-x).(y²-10²)x10
Solution: 01.(30^2-24).(30^2-100)x10=01.876.8000
That's all I got. I don't know if that's a phone number, but I have no idea what to do with the periods, so maybe they just divide the numbers. Whatever.
This is Brad, Katelyn's friend that you met... probably 2 years ago now.

I don't know if I would count it as a "complex mathematical equation" !
I did it in my head, using only schoolboy maths from 20 years ago, I'm not a graduate, & I don't use numbers at work!
Easy, I do worse stuff for my homework.
01.876.8000

It's wrong ! We don't use "01" in Switzerland for local calls ! The TRUE number for local calls in Switzerland will be 044 876 80 00 !
OR 0041 44 876 80 00, but not 01 876 8000...
Well they need to change the formula now cause Zurich Prefix number 01 is out of date and it's 044 for the old 01 Numbers or it's 043 for the new numbers in Zurich.
it is from the UK. try to call them using skype. this business apparently has incredibly low standards. i showed this to and 8th grader and he solved it

I guess it depends where the sign was put, but if it's american then I'd assume 01.xxx.xxxxxxx
In which case to get the correct number of digits, I'd guess the last x is a variable not a multiplication symbol.
So 01.876.800 2410
But who knows.
Thank you for sharing a nice article.
All attempts to defend what is ours, the people and the country will be in vain, if we think that humanity needs peace, both internally and externally. Why do we prepare for our children that evolution of the species in the progress of science and art of understanding the roles of different cultures, to find spirituality?
