Last time I visited, it had a message like "You can only log in if you have logged in before." Is this part new, or is it just a different way to enter?

This is completely different—the last site was targeting python devs.

Seems to be a gateway to access /foobar

No, it's the same. This is just a test that lets you access foobar.

Looks pretty easy, I wonder if google recruits like this?

This isn't for google, it's some marketing thing for upcoming movie "The Imitation Game" (based on Alan Turing).

You sure? It redirects into the foobar game, which seems more like fizz buzz type challenges.

The footer has links to Google. Unless Google is now doing movie marketing.

This is also part of another game that was submitted a couple weeks ago which was a recruiting game for GOogle.

What does something like \D{2}\S{3} mean? Out of context it seems a bit... cryptic ;)

It's a regular expression, probably Perl syntax: http://perldoc.perl.org/perlrebackslash.html

Thank you. I thought it could be a regex, but I had never seen perl syntax before.
