Google’s solution to a “certain problem” is to have the user answer some math questions within a time limit at certain hours of the night, on Friday and Saturday.

But me, I get drunk and send inappropriate emails at all hours of the day.

Google proposes that “surely if you can do basic math problems then you have a solid command of what is and is not socially appropriate when it comes to late night email.” However, some question the initiative’s effectiveness:

Not really. Drinking seems to lower inhibitions more than it lowers other abilities such as math skills, and at least for me it never lowers my math skills enough that I would fail this.

Yeah, I had a friend in college who, when drunk, would only ever talk about two things: Thomas Aquinas’s epistemology… and his fiancee’s hymen.
