I got to that site through this movie trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=sX...
if you look at the paper at 3 second mark you can see the
address "146.148.62.204".
But now i wonder if its somehow connected with google

Haha right as Turing says "Are you paying attention too." Pretty clever. I don't think this is purely a movie advert though. The Imitation Game relation explains how they expected people to get the non number base/regex clue.
It is also on the blackboard at the end (around 0:57), and possibly on some other places.
Google "sponsoring" them in exchange of putting an IP address in their trailer is something I would absolutely see them do.

also at blackboard at 0:10 and 0:26, and at a paper sheet at 0:12
Wow! You clearly pay attention...
I wonder if I would have noticed this.
Thanks for sharing!
Somehow, google must have to do with this, either google paying weinstein for displaying this or weinstein paying google for making this a social media booster.
