Are you smart enough to work at a start-up?

Looks like that number is in base-36 instead of base-10 (decimal). Using http://www.unitconversion.org/numbers/base-10-to-base-36-con... yields number 80113871 as the last 8 digits of the phone number.

You can also type the following in your JS console :)

    parseInt('1bp49b', 36)

"The only problem is it's so tough, no one has managed to crack it yet." is very silly

I agree, "The only problem is it's so tough, no one has managed to crack it yet" is a very silly comment. Anyone who's done high school computing can probably figure this one out :(

I'd be remiss without mentioning it in python: int('1bp49b', 36)

You too can be like Zuckerberg, by becoming employee #336 at a company rebranded in 2009 as a startup!

That was my first thought as well. Please don't tell me no one in Sydney managed to think of this.
