I just like puzzles... I was at my uni's open day type thingy and there was a maths stand right across from our stand, so I was trying to solve all the puzzles they had up - it was fun!!

Yeah well it's okay if you know how to cross a river with one boat, because you won't need the bridge that the boy scout haters burned!

My friend got asked something like this for his interview

#6) "If you look at a clock and the time is 3:15, what is the angle between the hour and the minute hands?"

 

[Punkess]

And another one they were asked

#7) If you had an infinite supply of water and a 5L and 3L pail, how would you measure exactly 4L?

 

[Frederick]

I'ma treat it as a trick question and say no angle, as it's a digital clock

I like them - they're kinda fun to do... though I don't know how effective they are at helping choose better candidates for a job.

#5) A frog fell into a well 12 feet deep. He could jump 3 feet, but every time he jumped 3 feet, he fell back 2 feet. How many times did he have to jump to get out of the well?

Answer is 10. You jump 9 x (3-2=1)m up and then the next 3m jump gets you to the top!

yeah that's easier


or 360/(12hours * 4 quarters of an hour) = 7.5 degrees

Bah, too much thinking involved

 

[Punkess]

They're not that hard

#6) The age of a man is the same as his wife's age with the digits reversed. The sum of their ages is 99 and the man is 9 years older than his wife.
How old is the man?

#8)
When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten students got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.

What is greater than God,

More evil than the devil,

The poor have it,

The rich need it,

And if you eat it, you'll die?
