Have you ever been asked a brainteaser in a job interview?

Google has famously asked its interview candidates brainteasers like “how many golf balls fit into a school bus?” (http://ind.pn/2gffrnX) Have you ever asked or been asked brainteasers like this in a job interview? What were some of the best and worst ones you’ve come across? What’s your opinion of it as an interview technique?

Yes they asked me this questions : You have 2 light bulbs. You are in multistory building such that if you drop a bulb from a floor of a certain height or higher the bulb will break: for ex: if the bulb will break at a minimum height of 10th floor, then the bulb will break if dropped only if dropped from a floor higher than tenth floor. it will not break if dropped from ninth floor or less. using the two bulbs how will you figure out at which floor will the bulb break?

First time I’ve heard of brain teasers being asked during an interview. And honestly I’m relieved because I’m pretty sure I won’t have the answer. lol

Have you ever been asked

One always reads about applicants having to be 100% honest, but most questions I’ve ever asked an interviewer provoke answers that cannot be counted on, aren’t all that complete or accurate, and at best vague as compared to reality

Once a long time ago I was asked a silly question like this

By some git from HR. I just stood up said I’m sorry I thought this was a serious company and walked out.
Maybe if she didn’t have that stupid smile on her face when she asked it things may have been different but I very much think not.
If any company has to resort to tricks like that I’m not interested in working there. If they do silly things like that to begin with what are they going to do once you are there?

Mongolian hoard vs. Roman legion
by rfink · about 6 years ago
In reply to Have you ever been asked a brainteaser in a job interview?
I was asked at an interview. If a Mongolian heard riding mutant tigers were attacking a Roman legion armed with light sabers, who would win and why?
I voted for the Mongolians on the theory that since mutant tigers are extremely rare they must have an army of magic users making them. Magic users at that high of a level could fry the Romans from a distance using lightning bolts spells and well as fireballs, weather control, golems and other high level spells long before the Roman were in range.
