Fun With Google's Market Cap

November 15, 2007 |

11:40 AM -- Earlier this week, over on Internet Evolution, I had some fun with Google. We know how easy that is to do.

You too can play the Google Market Cap Game.

Here is the question:

Which of the following contains the company or combination of companies that add up to more than Google's total market capitalization (Google's market cap was approximately $202 billion as of Monday's close):

    (A) Cisco Systems and Ford Motor Co.
    (B) IBM, Hershey, and Alcatel-Lucent
    (C) PetroChina
    (D) American Express, Walt Disney, and eBay
    (E) 3M, Eli Lilly, JDS Uniphase, Juniper Networks, and Yahoo

Go here for the answer.
