Yeah, it used to be a programming problem challenge website feeding into recruiting efforts. It was turned down though after living out its useful life and now it's just a redirect.

I believe the actual foobar challenge site is still running.

You got a link? Because I'm pretty sure it was running on the bar.foo domain.

https://foobar.withgoogle.com/

Thanks. bar.foo should really be redirecting there ... I'll look into it.

I was once reading some documentation (I think for GCP) and there was a weird artifact in the corner of the page, it moved a bit when I moused over it (??) and when I clicked it I got redirected to this site (using the .withgoogle.com TLD).

The element never reappeared again.

I always wondered why the element appeared on the page. Obviously because "some combination of factors" ultimately returned true - I mean specifically why :)

I got something like that once but my ad blocker apparently screwed up the functionality and I never saw one again.

Haha, I have seen it three times but the opening of the black box is so slow I have always clicked something by then.
