According to the article, Bigcommerce in Sidney, Australia is trying to hire computer programmers, and has made their phone number into a puzzle. Unfortunately, no one has figured it out yet.
Code is: +61 (02) 1BP49B36
+61 and 02 are country and area code for Sydney, Australia. Therefore they are not obfuscated, and can be ignored.
Their address, according to Google: 6/1-3 Smail St Sydney NSW 2007
That's City Centre.
According to Wikipedia: City Centre phone numbers start like: +61 (02) 90, 92, 966, 99, 80, 82, 86 or 89
Their official phone number is +61 (02) 8014 5684 according to Google.
This confirms the Sydney city Centre location as the number starts with (02) 80XX. News article mentions their "batphone" is at their main location, so it should start with one of the number sequences above. Stronger correlation if phone number starts +61 (02) 80XX.
Sydney phone numbers have 8 digits. Obfuscated code is 6 digits with a subscript.
Subscripts are often used for the base in Radix math.
1BP49B in 36 radix is: 80,113,871 in decimal. That's 8 digits. Put in Aussie phone number format, it's 8011 3871.
The first digits (80XX) correlate to known location (City Centre), and strongly correlate to their known public phone number as mentioned above.
To call phone number from United States: 011 61 2 8011 3871
This was seriously so hard that no one in Australia could figure it out? I spent more time writing this up than I spent solving it.
