While I personally enjoy Raymond Smullyan's logic puzzles, I don't think they are appropriate for an interview unless the job requires writing something along the lines of a Martin Gardner column.
Regarding bicycles for the visually impaired, I'd probably suggest a tandem model.
- dbz 17y ago"the job will go to a candidate who manages to answer the question by designing an extremely overcomplicated solution for a completely non-existent problem. And that candidate will be the same person who designs their software." I wont lie. I have been laughing for several minutes. We ALL know how awful that can be. I would make the bike have three wheels for stability (the person is blind so they could potentially have trouble riding a normal bike) and give the bike AI. So the person is RIDING IT- not steering it. Oh gosh-that'd be like a blind person driving-no thank you
- forensic 17y agoI'd put a wireless camera ala Justin.tv on the tricycle and hook the steering controls up to the internet. Then outsource the driving to India. The blind person would state his destination and the Indian would drive him there using a mash-up of Google Latitude + webcam + wireless steering. The blind person would have to pedal.
- wglb 17y agoI had a blind childhood friend who rode a conventional bike up and down his street, knew where his driveway was, could tell where trees were by their sound. He and I would ride all over town, he following me by the sound my bike made. The interviewer's question is clearly not out-of-the-box enough itself, it is just in a little bigger box.
