If they're interested, there's probably a better way to explain it. If they aren't interested, a baking analogy isn't going to make them interested.

In Sweden, there's no undergrad degree required for med school, but med school is 5.5 years (followed by 18 months of the Swedish equivalent of residency). Like in the US, most physicians are specialists which requires around 5 more ye

This is one of the very, very few cases where being tall isn't a major advantage. Being tall is correlated with being richer, being more likely to be hired and being found attractive. Wishing yourself or someone else to be shorter for

In Italy, the cost of the coffee as a service is much lower than in the rest of Europe and the USA. Espressos are made much faster and more frequently, the volume is lower which means they can be drunk quicker, and Italians generally spend

In this case I would do 115 x 37 = 115 x (40-3) = 460 x 10 - 3 x 115 = 4600 - 345 = 4255 Since 15 x 3 and 15 x 4 are trivial calculations the only caveat is the subtraction which isn't too bad.

The "in 24 hours" part is of course just book title clickbait. I read Sams' C++ book and the 24 hours figure is making lots of assumptions such as general familiarity with programming, spending >10 times more time doing ex

It's a bit amusing that he misspelled his email address in the pitch at the end ("jasper@TheConverionWizards.com"). I wonder if there will be a follow-up article by The Conversion Wizards on why that particular document faile

But how long do you give them to finish this 2 hour task? Less than a week? Or is this a task you expect them to do during the interview? Some people are busy doing other things and may need a week to be able to find two hours of spare time
