Welcome to the list: 120th place
The Swedish company ÅF has been looking for consultants.
To gain some visibility they built a flash based website on which you could solve some programming exercises. Besides getting a wider spread of candidates, they surely succeeded making the "job application" more interesting.
They said they were going to offer a job to the first 100 in the list and give out some prices.
I was not looking for a job but I could not resist the temptation and I had to spend a few hours solving the problems. At the end I got to the 120th place (too bad...they will not offer my a job which I could have refused :-)
For those who are curious, at the end, to get into the list, it was not a matter of being able to solve the problems but to solve them fast. Surely the guy who got into the first place succeeded in automating the procedure somehow.
