Instead of setting a conventional entrance exam, a Canadian university has
awarded a scholarship to the first person to crack an encoded mathematics
problem. The University of Lethbridge in Alberta issued the poser to prospective
computer science students last year. The challenge was to convert a mathematical
problem into text from a confusing string of numbers, then figure out the
problem and e-mail the answer to the university. One hundred other students who
solved the problem were offered course places.
