> "What number am I thinking of?" I don't think this is a good interview question, but I do think it is interesting as a thought exercise. I bet that perhaps 25% of candidates could actually answer the question correctly, even if they didn't know anything about Schelling points. It could also lead to some nice discussions about how to solve an open-ended problem, probability distributions, strategies for maximizing payoffs when making decisions in the face of uncertainty, and so on. The question is so bad, it's actually kind of good.
