Ok...this is the thread where you can get your brain tingling and at least try to explain that you're increasing brain capacity to be a better employee.
And they begin now...

Ok...here's a text one.
You are stuck in a room with no windows and no doors.
There is a hole in the floor about a foot deep and just wider than the diameter of a table tennis ball. There is a table tennis ball at the bottom of the hole.
You have a fork, a wrench, and a long, thin plastic wire.
How do you get the ball out of the hole?

for all of those with the reach in tactic...Wrong!
@fom with all of the typing you're doing I doubt that your hand would fit in a hole that small.

Here's one a lady asked me at the gym. It's supposed to be a part of a serries of questions to see if you are a "linear thinker" (whatever that means). I thought it was easy, but here goes:
A carrot, a scarf, and a piece of charcoal are lying out in the yard. WHAT HAPPENED?
Another one: A man hung himself in a barn. He's found hanging from one of the rafters in the barn. No chair or stool is found. Underneath him is a puddle of water. What happened?

I like that solution Damie, if only for the visual aspect of it all, but it's incorrect.

I use the wrench to open up a pipe somewhere, collect the water, and pout it down the hall so the Table Tennis ball can float to the top.

OK...
An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower will win. The brothers, after wandering aimlessly for days, ask a wise man for advice. After hearing the advice they jump on the camels and race as fast as they can to the city.
What does the wise man say?

Yep if they switch camels, then they want to get to the town first, because if they win that means that the camel they own, or started with was the slowest. The one that the other person is riding. |

Imagine there are 3 coins on the table. Gold, silver and copper. If you say a truthful sentence, you will get one coin. If you say a false sentence, you get nothing. Which sentence can guarantee gaining the gold coin?

I told Damie to pee in it. I didn't say I would. He's the one that suggested liquid. I just gave him another alternative yeah, but you thought of it. So why would you want the ball in the first place? Shouldn't you be worried about how you are going to get out of a place with no doors or windows? |
