Was Google PageRank Algorithm leaked?

According to Patrick Altoft of Blog Storm a reliable Google source leaked part of the Google algorithm code responsible for the Google PR update of a few days ago to Patrick. The code according to Patrick goes as follows:

$spammers=file_get_contents("http://www.45n5.com/top100/");
$pos = strpos($spammers, $domain);
if ($pos === false) {
$newpagerank=rand(0, 10);
} else {
$newpagerank=rand(0, $pagerank);
}

I don't know how reliable Patrick's source... the leaked code is reminicent of the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, where the meaning of the univers and everything in it was found to be 42.
