The Surprising Hack That Got Me an Invitation to Google Foobar Challenge

Google Foobar Challenge is a secret coding test that Google uses to find and hire talented programmers. It is not easy to get an invitation for this challenge, but I found a hack that worked for me. In this article, I will share with you how I did it and what the challenge is like.

The Hack

The hack is very simple. All you need is a browser and an internet connection. Here are the steps:

• Open a new tab in your browser and go to Google.com.
• Type “arraylist java” in the search box and hit enter. This is a keyword related to coding that might trigger the challenge.
• Repeat this process 19 more times, each time opening a new tab and searching for “arraylist java”.
• After you have 20 tabs with the same search result, go back to the first tab and refresh it. You might see a message saying “You’re speaking our language. Up for a challenge?” This means you have been invited to the challenge.
• Click on “I want to play” and follow the instructions. You will be redirected to a website where you can start solving coding problems in Python or Java.
