If using ambiguous questions and brainteasers gets Google good employees, then surely using even more ambiguous questions and even harder brainteasers will get a company great employees, right? I propose the following interview questions: 1. The Fibonnacci sequence starts with 0, 1, 1 and each subsequent term is the sum of the preceding terms. Write out the rest of the sequence. You have 30 seconds. 2. The problem with American democracy is that the qualities tested for during the election process (charisma, fundraising ability) are unrelated to the qualities necessary to be a good leader and policy maker (integrity, sound judgement). Briefly outline a better system of government that is equally fair. 3. How many golf balls will fit in the average blender? Will they blend? 4. Observe that 8 = 5 + 3, 10 = 3 + 7, 12 = 5 + 7; show that all even numbers can be expressed as the sum of two primes. 5. Imagine you are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your mass is proportionally reduced so that your density is the same. Now, how much would you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle? (Note, you can't hire anyone to do it for you, they'll just squish you and keep all the money) 6. Consider the set of all sets which do not contain themselves. Does this set contain itself? Answer yes or no. 7. Using only three sentences, explain to an eight-year-old why she cannot have a puppy. (Cue entrance of crying child)
