Here are the commands you can execute:

You have a week to complete each challenge. I've done 2 of them so far, and requested the third one - they have been very enjoyable and I've already learnt a lot from them.

I'm pretty sure I have literally zero chance of being hired by Google (and I'm not even sure I would want to work for them even if they made the mistake of wanting to hire me), but this has been super interesting so far. And yeah, also a huge time waster, I've been thinking about making the solution to the third challenge more elegant and performant all day instead of doing my actual job.

I went through these challenges a while back; they were super fun! I remember at the end there was something about "notify me if there are more challenges" but I don't believe I ever heard anything.

I'm a sucker for puzzles, and the write-ups for the challenges were the right level of silliness.
