Another day, another awesome interactive Google doodle. This one — which hits Saturday in the U.S., but you can see it already in the Australian and New Zealand versions of Google — celebrates Alan Turing, famed British computer scientist, artificial intelligence pioneer and all-round math whiz.
Turing, who died a heartbreaking and utterly avoidable death at the age of 41, would have been 100 on Saturday. So the Google team is honoring his memory with a virtual version of the Turing Machine — a concept that helps explain how a CPU thinks in binary, ie. 1s and 0s.
The doodle is incredibly hard to figure out if you’re not a comp sci geek, so we hope it isn’t giving too much away to tell you the aim of the game is to spell out “Google” in binary.
And if you’re still struggling, watch the walkthrough video below. Amaze your co-workers with how fast you can solve it! Impress your boss and ask for a raise! And let us know whether it worked in the comments.
