Don’t forget to list some grueling interview questions you’ve had to answer in your career in the comment section!

“How many basketballs can you fit in this room?” – asked at Google.

“If you could be any superhero, who would it be?” – asked at AT&T.

“Given the numbers 1 to 1000, what is the minimum numbers guesses needed to find a specific number if you are given the hint “higher” or “lower” for each guess you make?” – asked at Facebook.

“If you had 5,623 participants in a tournament, how many games would need to be played to determine the winner?” – asked at Amazon.

“There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?” – asked at Apple.

“How do you weigh an elephant without using a weigh machine?” – asked at IBM.

“You have 8 pennies, 7 weight the same, one weighs less. You also have a judges scale. Find the one that weighs less in less than 3 steps.” – asked at Intel.

“How many bottles of beer are drank in the city over the week?” – asked at The Nielsen Company.
