Bang ur head on the wall if u don't know the answer.
Recently a company had participated in Indian Institute of Management's Placement Sessions.
They asked some interesting questions to students during recruitment.
Here are some of them: GoodLuck Guys
-
1. There is one word in the English language that is always pronounced incorrectly. What is it?
2. A man gave one son 10 cents and another son was given 15 cents. What time is it?
3. A boat has a ladder that has six rungs, each
rung is one foot apart. The bottom rung is one foot from the water.
The tide rises at 12 inches every 15minutes. High tide peaks in one
hour. When the tide is at it's highest, how many rungs are under water?
4. There is a house with four walls. Each wall faces south. There is a
window in each wall. A bear walks by one of the windows. What color is
the bear?
5. Is half of two plus two equal to two or three?
6. There is
a room. The shutters are blowing in. There is broken glass on the
floor. There is water on the floor. You find Sloppy dead on the floor.
Who is Sloppy? How did Sloppy die?
7. How much dirt would be in a hole
6 feet deep and 6 feet wide that has been dug with a square edged
shovel?
8. If I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a bucket
of water which is 45 degrees F, and dropped another ball of the same
weight, mass, and size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, both of them at the
same time, which ball would hit the bottom of the bucket first? Same
question, but the location is in Canada ?
9. What is the significance
of the following: The year is 1978, thirty-four minutes past noon on
May 6th.
10. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks
in the other field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined
them all in the center field?
11. What is it that goes up and goes down
but does not move?
I will post the answers soon
Speed
i never took the credit for the questions.
I told you all in the question that it was asked during an interview.
cheers
YOU DONT KNOW ME, DONT EVEN TRY !!!
Did you find the questions own your own !
simple when you did not try to bang your head on the wall then why should I .... (just kidding) ... good work n keep posting next time when i have Net at home and sitting free will not say YAHOO ..
Hey Jauntie ... i knew few answers but for others I didn't had time for brainstorming at work .... at least i was honest
despite that I cleared some of questions own my own on the spot without saying YAHOO !! will say YIKES I missed 2 .. :(

I guess some can't cope with challenging their own brain. hee hee Can't imagine why!
both search engines give you the correct answers, the challenge is to find the answers on your own.
YOU DONT KNOW ME, DONT EVEN TRY !!!
using google or yahoo. YIKES
Speed you got em all right.
Bingo
YOU DONT KNOW ME, DONT EVEN TRY !!!
thanks all the same.
it's 3:05pm ... office already closed at 2:30 .... lol !
I hate you ... coz of you am sitting late and doing overtime
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
lol .... aww don't be disappointed !!
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
it gave the little grey cells a work out :D
Still disappointed with speed, though .... shame on you.
re the bucket, speed, yes I realised that when I looked back and changed my post accordingly
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
it does say "Bucket of water" but never said Bucket has a water in it ?
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
pooh to you speed LOL
I DID put '3' first time, for that answer, then it looked just tooo easy, so changed it :(
and *I* didn't Yahoo it, yer wee cheat, speed - grrrrrrr
would never have thought about it that way! nice one.
Disagree on No.5 though. question is half of two plus two
And the bucket question ... ah, I see now. The one in Canada would hit the bottom first because it has no water in it? Need to look again lol
Jauntie, Gypsyb gal, Grantley,
I take out the questions for which you got right answers. well done for the genius work.
1. The word "incorrectly. "
3. None, the boat rises with the tide. Googly ;-)
4. White. If all the walls face south, the house is at the North pole, and the bear, therefore, is a polar bear.
6. Sloppy is a (gold)fish. The wind blew the
shutters in, which knocked his goldfish-bowl off the table, and it
broke, killing him.
7. None. No matter how big a hole is, it's still a hole: the absence of dirt.
9. The time and month/date/year American style calendar are 12:34, 5/6/78.
10. One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all become one big stack.
11. The temperature.
still 2,5,8 to go
Try harder guys
Cheers
YOU DONT KNOW ME, DONT EVEN TRY !!!
jauntie... read the question like this ...
half of two = One
half of two (i.e. one) plus two
so 1+2 = 3 ;-)
[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]
lol ha ha ha.. nice little joke at the end speed... It really made me laugh..
Why to bang head when you can say YAHOO !! Ooops ,,, Is this Plagiarism ???
guess by the time I got to that one I was suffering from overly cryptic thinking LOL
1 Incorrectly.
2 1:45. The man gave away a total of 25 cents. He divided it
between two people. Therefore, he gave a quarter to two.
3 None, the boat rises with the tide. Duh.
4 White. If all the walls face south, the house is at the north
pole, and the bear, therefore, is a polar bear.
5. Three. Well, it seems that it could almost be either, but if
you follow the mathematical orders of operation, division is
performed before addition. So... half of two is one. Then add
two, and the answer is three.
6. Sloppy is a goldfish. The wind blew the shutters in, which
knocked his goldfish-bowl off the table, and it broke,
killing him.
7. None. No matter how big a hole is, it's still a hole: the
absence of dirt. (And those of you who said 36 cubic feet are
wrong for another reason, too. You would have needed the length
measurement too. So you don't even know how much air is in the hole.)
8. Both questions, same answer: the ball in the bucket of 45 degree F
water hits the bottom of the bucket last. Did you think that
the water in the 30 degree F bucket is frozen? Think again.
The question said nothing about that bucket having anything in it.
Therefore, there is no water (or ice) to slow the ball down...
9. The time and month/date/year are 12:34, 5/6/78.
10. One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all become
one big stack.
11. The temperature.

Answer 4: the bear is white... its a polar bear
I thought the bear might be white? If all walls face south, you must be at the North Pole - therefore a polar bear?
otherwise I reckon Jauntie is spot on...
will have to wait and see ... don't give up!
Logic thinking and quick wit are the secret of Jauntie's youth
aren't these questions all to do with lateral thinking, or something like that?
still don't think I got No 5. right - looks far to logical for this type of test lol
Oops - have now changed my answer to No 5.
Wonder if I actually got any right lol
OK without checking out google, here's my first thoughts ...
1. 'incorrectly'
2. the time, as I type this, is 14.11 ast
3. none - the boat rises as the tide does.
4. black - the bear is in the shadow of the sun
5. Two (changed my original answer) half of 2+2(4) = 2
6. Sloppy is a fish (maybe a goldfish) who was in his/her glass bowl when it was blown over by the wind
7. None - a hole has no dirt in it
8. Neither ball would reach the bottom, the water would prevent this
9. 12345678 = 12(noon) 34 5 (May) 6 year 78
10. One Haystack (they are combined)
11. your temperature? any temperature ....
Jauntie.. u are a genius
