Google's aptitude test: answers

Follow-up to Google's aptitude test from Autology: John Dale's blog

An elegant set of answers to the Google aptitude test can be found here. I wish I understood enough Mathematica to have been able to figure out how to use it to solve the problems, especially #17 which intrigued me at the time. I can see what their expression is doing, but I wouldn't have been able to write it.

Google's aptitude test

It seems that Google now have an aptitude test for prospective employees. It's a mixture of creative writing, general tech awareness, and some maths-y puzzles. There are four pages to it:-

• Page 1 [cover page]
• Page 2 [questions 1-6]
• Page 3 [questions 7-14]
• Page 4 [questions 15-21]

Question 17 is fun, but to my chagrin I can't find a more elegant way to solve it than by brute force.
