Tech companies are notorious for testing applicants’ thinking skills with difficult interview questions. Although interview puzzles are less common these days with Google demphasizing or doing away them if you’re going for a job in Silicon Valley or just want to check out some interview brainteasers, here are examples of challenging interview questions that have made smart people feel very dumb. (source is having the answer to the questions, thats why am not adding it.) cc: dominique

1. How many golf balls can fit in a school bus? 2. How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle? 3. In a country in which people only want boy, every family continues to have children until they have a boy. If they have a girl, they have another child. If they have a boy, they stop. What is the proportion of boys to girls in the country? 4. Why are manhole covers round? 5. Design an evacuation plan for San Francisco. 6. How many times a day does a clock’s hands overlap? 7. You need to check that your friend, Bob, has your correct phone number, but you cannot ask him directly. You must write the question on a card and give it to Eve who will take the card to Bob and return the answer to you. What must you write on the card, besides the question, to ensure Bob can encode the message so that Eve cannot read your phone number? 8. You’re the captain of a pirate ship and your crew gets to vote on how the gold is divided up. If fewer than half of the pirates agree with you, you die. How do you recommend apportioning the gold in such a way that you get a good share of the booty, but still survive? 9. You have eight balls all of the same size, 7 of them weigh the same, and one of them weighs slightly more. How can you find the ball that is heavier by using a balance and only two weighings? 10. Explain a database in three sentences to your eight-year-old nephew. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

No 7 answer should be to call me? No 3 should be to biology students but I believe the probability of having a girl at every try against a boy. No 6 should be 24 times. No 9 place two balls each on both side. No 2 the amount required to get it done, abi which kain trick question be that.  No 4 I think should do with drainage, just like how kitchen sinks and toilet sinks are round. No 8 I divide the gold into half and share the half amongst the crew, and we shall select about half the crew I know who had done well and give them the other half of the gold.. Two things are likely to happen, first there would be a fight that would lead to half the crew or more dead of which we can claim the dead crews gold to be ours. The second is less likely, that the crew who are favored with more gold will kill those less favored secretly so as to keep their gold and lives and recover the gold from the dead. Or you could as well promise to any man who sees you remain alive till the next raid gets your own gold. No 1 as many as it can take 5 Likes |

The expected answer they want is that 'you use google search engine'. That is what they want, they want the world to be so tech to the extent that if you want to know what a mango is.. You use google.com #iGoogle |

I will just drop the answers 1.Answer: This is one of those questions Google asks just to see if the applicant can explain the key challenge to solving the problem. 2. Answer: This is one of those questions where the trick is to come up with an easier answer than the one that's seemingly being called for. We'd say. "$10 per window." 3.Answer: This one caused quite the debate, but we figured it out following these steps: Imagine you have 10 couples who have 10 babies. 5 will be girls. 5 will be boys. (Total babies made: 10, with 5 boys and 5 girls) The 5 couples who had girls will have 5 babies. Half (2.5) will be girls. Half (2.5) will be boys. Add 2.5 boys to the 5 already born and 2.5 girls to the 5 already born. (Total babies made: 15, with 7.5 boys and 7.5 girls.) The 2.5 couples that had girls will have 2.5 babies. Half (1.25) will be boys and half (1.25) will be girls. Add 1.25 boys to the 7.5 boys already born and 1.25 girls to the 7.5 already born. (Total babies: 17.5 with 8.75 boys and 8.75 girls). And so on, maintianing a 50/50 population. 4.Answer: So it doesn't fall through the manhole (when the plane ordinarily flush with the plane of the street goes perpendicular to the street.) 5.Answer: Again, this one is all about the interviewer seeing how the interviewee would attack the problem. We'd start our answer by asking, "what kind of disaster are we planning for?" 6.Answer: 22 times. From WikiAnswers: AM 12:00 1:05 2:11 3:16 4:22 5:27 6:33 7:38 8:44 9:49 10:55 PM 12:00 1:05 2:11 3:16 4:22 5:27 6:33 7:38 8:44 9:49 10:55 7. Answer: Since you are just "checking," you ask him to call you at a certain time. If he doesn't, he doesn't have your number. 8.Answer: You divide the booty evenly between the top 51% of the crew. 9.Answer: Take 6 of the 8 balls and put 3 on each side of the scale. If the heavy ball isn't in the group of 6, you know it's one of the remaining 2 and so you put those two in the scale and determine which one. If the heavy ball is in the 6, you have narrowed it down to 3. Of those 3, pick any 2 and put them on the scale. If the heavy ball is in that group of 2, you know which one it is. If both balls are of equal weight, then the heavy ball is the one you sat to the side. 10.Answer: The point here is to test the applicant's ability to communicate complex ideas in simple language. Here's our attempt, "A database is a machine that remembers lots of information about lots of things. People use them to help remember that information. Go play outside." @OP, I'm your number one fan. I'm really sorry I had to do this. I'm simply one of the people that think Nigeria is already too difficult to start breaking our head over things like this! So I simply showed everyone how to Google. Una want sauce  !!
