Code interpretation challenge for the ambitious by Arachnid 2007-03-05 14:56:51
UFies out there. The company I work for decided to put out a 'recruitment challenge' type thing - they're printing it on T-Shirts and putting an ad in the paper and up at the uni. Anyone care to see if they can figure it out? 
z= 4254145*0x18712495
;b=(z&1)<<4;a=b--;o=[];
c=a-b;x=b-a;while(z){x=
a&x?a&b:c+x;{o[z&b^x]
=(x+6*a+b/5-c).chr;
z=z/a/a;}if(!(
z/a&b^x))}
apply now

"www.telogis.co.nz/"+o+".html"
Note that I'm reproducing it here not expliclty as an attempt to advertise or recruit for my company, just because I think UFies will find it interesting to attempt. :)
