Ya all xperienced hommies should come and brainstorm on dis 4 us d freshers in d system 2 learn. I love d logical reasoning of paranorman as given above.

Let us join hands 2geda to defeat dis common frienemies called interviewers

Reyginus:
I don't really think there's anything to brainstorm. We should begin to point out stupid questions as we see them and not treat them like some esoteric knowledge only shown to a few who are initiated.

It's simply the association. In Christian marriage, one plus one equates one, the same in any team where a common goal is pursued. In maths, the base matters.

4YM you've killed it!

Well, if you're applying for a consulting firm, then you find out 1+1 is not 2 or even 1 cos you have to walk them through your thinking process.

Also, 1+1>2 according to synergy

Like i said earlier, it's not as easy as it seems.

Like my firm says, there're no silly questions :p

Reyginus:
I don't see anything too intelligent in the question as some are trying to make it appear. You don't know one's debt of anything by asking the wrong questions. Answering one is not any way intelligent.

If the interviewer expected two as answer or a response emphasizing the base or association then it's okay. Maybe to ascertain how you handle unexpected questions. If what he or she expects is not that then it's useless and irrational. There's nothing intelligent at this point.

Reyginus:
You don't understand. Association is key. Apply the same thing to your Synergy.

sisqonite:


Well, you never know what an interviewer wants from you. They all psycho analysing you. So you have to tailor your response but you can end up being wrong by making wrong assumptions and thinking you're giving them what they want while actually going farther from halfway.

Imagine an interviewer that's going through a divorce process and you gave the marriage assumption?

ethene:

Point.....invalid, null and void. 1+1 in any other base other than base 10 must be indicated.

sisqonite:


Now you're talking.

Just want to hear others way of attack

Mind you on this post, I saw a guy write about a 2 long pages (about 2 min speech) trying to tell how he'll ans this and I was amazed as to how such a simple thing could cause a ruse.

only for the intellects.......

Interviewer: what is 1 + 1. My Response: the addition of 1 to 1 or summation of 1 to 1. Reason: the interviewer didn't ask for the result. of 1+1. MY OPINION

sisqonite:
Okay, this is my first time but I wanna share a confusing experience

I was preparing for the labour market about a year ago, after graduation, nd having no clue even what my CV should look like and all

To cut the chase, I went online for possible interview questions and I stumbled on this 'guy's experience on an interview question that made me realise people think differently

The person in question said he went for an interview and was asked only 1 question, off course after the normal introduce yourself speech. The question was:

What is 1+1?

He said, as to this simplicity, he was confused, as you know how all these logical questions you're not supposed to assume is as easy as it looks but he was famished at this level.

To cut it short ,I was following the tread and found out saying '2' might have gotten this guy the job or maybe not. In a nutshell, he said nothing as he asked for the interviewer to explain and he did nothing but to repeat the question that

'What is 1+1?

He couldn't answer this and didn't get a call back.

Now am asking you guys how y'all will approach this question and what will be your response?

When two or more people, groups or companies come together and pool their talents and abilities toward a common purpose, the laws of math go out the window and the laws of synergy prevail. Far more can be accomplished than the individuals or groups could ever have achieved independently.

therefore: 1+1=3......

the answer doesn't matter though as long as yhu can justify yhur answer...i think

This is not rocket science if you ask me. I know recruiters might have funny questions with funnier answers only mind readers can get correctly but it still doesn't change the simple mathematical fact that 1+1=2

Pheals:
Two things are involved

1.just to show your attitude or character towards the questions... was it funny or U take it seriously .that is gonna show your temperament there



2.the question goes thus.
..what's 1+1 ? U Should not say 2
The interviewer was trying to know if U can move the company forward or it's on your interest you came for ,as in if U were given two things
What to produce with (1) and what to produce [capital. In economics] (1) will U produce the actual things or U do better... so in that case U do times two ×2 of what they expect of U... which is =1+1=2 ,2×2=4

U do more than what the company expect of U....U go further


Thanks
