If you go to ucla.edu, their “spotlight” has a running countdown.

countdownWhen you click on it, it takes you to a set of clues.

Is this some sort of Google hiring stunt?

Anyone have any idea what they’re cooking up?

    Very cool way to get people engaged in the UCLA website and Facebook Fan Page!

    It’s already been figured out on the UCLA Facebook page. You can see the discussion about the clues there. It’s in honor of the 40th birthday of the Internet.
