Except brainteasers are vulnerable to prior exposure. Once you've heard enough of them you have a bunch of tools at the ready for any others that use the same kinds of intuitive leaps -- and you may not even need to do that if you get asked ones you already know.
Just pretend you're really trying hard and voila, eventually spout the correct answer you appeared to have thought up on the spot.
- angstrom 18y agoI hear these little brain teasers and can't help but think of Monty Python's Holy Grail: "What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?" Yeah, I'm the guy who would ask "747-300 or 747-400?". Granted it could probably be figured out by taking the vector of the thrust to lift ratio of the engines and wings at take off, but something tells me you'd go through a lot of planes that way rather than designing it with that in mind.
