Job Application Pre-Qualifier
Apparently, there's a billboard in Silicon Valley that reads, "{first 10-digit prime found in consecutive digits e}.com."
If anyone can figure it out, you'll be taken to a Web site with an equation. Figure out the equation and you'll be taken to a Web page for Google encouraging you to apply for employment there. Apparently, they get so many resumes, they're trying to use this to weed out the "junk."
Maybe someone can figure it out and post it here. I know the answer (not on my own) so if nobody can get it in a certain period of time, I'll just post it myself.

Best I can do is come up with the first two -digit prime found in consecutive numbers: 23. What kind of job will that get me?

Replacing divots for the guys that come up with the 10-digit number, I'm guessing.

Replacing divots? Excellent; that's much better work than I expected in exchange for my lame answer!
Hey... wouldn't be a trick question, would it? Answer wouldn't be 0000000001, would it?
Darn. My laziness in math has finally come back to haunt me.

Math Problems?
Adding up my golf scores is all the math I can handle these days. :(

If anyone wants to try, enter 5966290435. I think it's correct. It'll only take you to a customized Google employment page, though.
