          A billboard that said "http://[the 10th unique 10-digit prime in the digits of e].com/", IIRC.

                  So nobody else can ever do something similar without it being lame?

                  If we dig, we'd probably find that Google wasn't really the first and was also "lame", etc...

                    My point was that it was less impressive than the Google one. The problem is trivial compared to the Google billboard. (Both are fairly easy.)

                      To be fair, your average grade 9 computer geek could figure out the EA one...not so for the Google one.

                        Fair enough, but why would anyone want to work for EA?

                          In addition, a naive approach to the Google one wouldn't work, because it's O(sqrt(n)).

                            A couple people here used to work for EA...they all hated it.

                              Exactly. Most people would rather have their vas deferens sliced in twain sans anesthesia than work for that scummy company.
