Interview Questions

Hi,

Just read from another forum a post regarding Interview Questions and the one below caught my attention, what would you answer to this and what are some of the most interesting questions you've been asked during an interview?

Let me start with one I read on WHT

Back in college, a friend of mine was being interviewed by Microsoft. The asked him this question:

"You have a jar with red and blue marbles, and one empty jar. What would you do to make sure that when someone picked a marble from the empty jar, it was red?"

um, huh? lol... Guess it's a good thing I don't work for Microsoft...

[jhancock]

Paint all the marbles red.

Oh, duh...this is a trick question, they can't pick a marble from the empty jar, because it is empty! Maybe I should apply to Microsoft afterall! lol...

An easy answer is to put 1 red marble into the empty jar ;)

or all the red marbles...probably the one's I've lost! lol
