Google ban them because these type of question don't correlate much to employees' performance according to stats.

Could we possibly Google the answers during the interview

Is Google obsessed with clocks?

they are tired of being billionaire's ,now they fuck with people .

I refuse to answer those questions, now gimmie job!

how the hell can a pirate captain wash all the windows in seattle at exactly 3:15 and still lose his fortune

That last one though lol XD

lol no wonder in india we have manholes which are square

I answered them all, and im 1 year old

Cool and interesting questions! I don't think they should hire you if you get them right but based on your performance and answers solving the problems.

Except they only ask engineering/whiteboard coding questions from what everyone is telling me :|

2:09 nice music edit ;)

These Qs have nothing to do with Google

they don't need the correct answer they just check your confidence ...

Explains Database to 8 year-old: Mr Krabs keeps all the different ‘Krabby Patty’ orders from Spongebob and his friends living under the sea, in the back kitchen. This is so Mr Krabs can remember all of their orders for when they next come in to eat. This makes their lives a lot easier but less private since Mr.Krabs is all up in their business.

I bet some of the guys who refused to answer these questions eventually became the competition.

Mad respect for the ones who passed the questions and got the job

Really, those were too complicated? Google, here I come!

Well... I won't be getting hired from Google any time soon

I was asked the window washing question for my interview at Nordstrom! Pretty much just explained taking the average rate for washing windows mulitplied by average number of windows per building... also threw in a joke and said because it rains so much you don't have to wash the windows haha! Regional IT for them now ;)

Isn't it funny that you can literally google these questions?

Google interviews are 45 minute interview about coding, Algorithms and software design. Technical. Solve algorithmic problems. Write code in whiteboard using programming languages C/C++/Java/Python etc. The problems asked have huge varieties.

the overlapping answer is incorrect. after every 1 minute the second hand completes it rotation. so it meant it gonna meet the hour hand somewhere in the clock for sure coz hour hand as well is in the areas moving. so they will meet after every min. then answer is 120.

Is it bad that I said you should make a tournament between the ship members ( who ever loses dies ) and at the final you should give 45 percent for each person and you take 10 percent of it ? It works tho

seriously Google asks these questions ?? My class test is more difficult than this

Why are manhole covers round? They're not, or at least not all of them -- look around you, and you'll find plenty of rectangular manhole covers. so the question is really 'why are round manhole covers round' or 'what advantages do round manhole covers have over rectangular ones'? The reason given is just one of the advantages (least material for a hole of given area)

Not just square, if a manhole cover is any shape but round it can possibly fall through provided the hole is the same size and shape as the cover.

hows overlapping ans 22 anf not 24

How many times a clock's hands question overlap in a day is wrong. You have to restrict the domain to exclude 0:00, if this isn't done, the correct answer is 23. If 0:00 (same as 24:00) is excluded from the domain of inputs, than the answer is 22. The question is the problem, not the answer.

In life there are several ways to achieve things one gets good grades good college,one works hard climbs in ladder,one usese smart ways lives his own term

Where can i apply? -Guessed 6° without calculating -Had the 51% correct -Had with the crossing hand 23 but was because i counted the half crossing of 0:00 because they do kinda cross in the 1th hour. -With windows i would ask if i had monoploly and say that i would calculate the max until people would be like nah.

They should asks things you can't find on the web because then you have to think about a specific scenario and ask something related to the job

3:15's one is so easy

'go outside and play' gives you an extra scores 😂😂😂

The nephew one has a simpler answer. In simple words, a database is like a cookie jar. You buy cookies from the store and put it into the jar, when required you can take your cookies out. This way your “cookies” stay in a safe and secure place but still can be accessed/ used at any time. ☺️

ok,that question especially the first two is not that hard. The server explanation,while not useful in this case since you're not employed as a communicator is not that hard. That pirate thingy is probably removed because it incentivise bad leadership practice.the window thingy is stupid since you don't get to collect data and the last one i'm still confused the point is that it's not banned from being hard but it's probably banned because it's too easy or it's not correlated to the job

The answer to the pirate's question is actually incredibly fascinating and way more complicated than described here (51% is completely wrong) If you are interested in this, check out the Ted - Ed video they made about this riddle

I got the second one correct :D And for the last one I guessed divorce and apparently was wrong :/

That clock question is wrong. I measured that shit with my protractor. Also, the small lines between the hours are divided into 5 fields, the end of the 5th being the next hour.. So, using 1/4 is wrong. Angle between each hour is 30 degrees and that is divided into 5 parts; meaning At 3:15, the small hand is between the first and second line and that puts the small hand in the second field. It appears at 3/4 of its way in the second field. So, the real angle is 6° + (6° x 3/4) = 10.5°.

Google : why do you want to join Google Guy: can't afford iPhone

There is 10 degrees not 7.5. One minute is 4 degrees and the little pointer goes a quarter between 3 and 4, which is 2.5 minutes, that makes the difference 10 degrees between the two.

23x overlap not 22, but you probably don't count midnight because you don't know which side to put it, but it is still there.

2:10 *"now go outside and play"* Lol

1. So glad I got the question about gold division correct. 2. But I don't understand the 1st one about manhole. 3. I like the question about database. Given 3 sentences to explain, he only uses 2 sentences. The guy who answers this is so smart and creative.

data is a list of stuff, if this data is a rubber band, database is like a box of rubber bands where it can be arranged, taken out and lost so guard it with care

Honestly I'm not surprised they stopped using them, the data probably told them it didn't help their employees with anything. These are basically just riddles- tricks that you have to see through, and are just used to try to feel superior. Riddle solving skills can be an accessory side effect of being intelligent, but is by no means a reliable indicator... It's not real creativity in most cases, just knowing the one workaround the question wants.

I was actually asked the question about manhole covers in a job interview. It was a job at a hardware store...

LOL. But,except 1,3, last were normal,and encountered at other places by me.

Apart from the window one those were easy. There is much harder questions in those interviews like writing an algorithm for the money change problem or an implementation of quick sort.

When you studied coding for 10 years, practiced each and every question on it from each possible source, prepared very well for the interview and they finally ask "David bought some butter, what could be the mass of the nearest black hole?".

Why is the clock answer not 23? Also, the sewer cap question originated at Microsoft.

There occurred a huge variation in my ego before and after the video.

i dont get the first question,how can a square cover fall if it is placed in a wrong angle?

You have 9 marbles and 8 weigh the same. What are the fewest number of steps to find the 9th marble? (You are given the 9 marbles and a two sided scale.)

what kind of questions are these anyway?

How is the clock's hands overlap questions answer not 23? Could someone explain? I feel so stupid for not figuring this one out.

Wow! This was so impressive!:) Good job!

I hope Google is ready for my questions when they come knocking one day.

there are TEDed videos on two of these questions

The 2nd one is not critical. It's just a simple formula we learnt in 9th grade: 0.5×| 60H-11M | Where, H is the hours hand & M the minutes hand

google has seen all the questions, so now they can ask the questions

Ah we have google. We can google these answers simple. 😂

It's more like a riddle than a question

I honestly thought the answer to the why are manhole covers round would be along the same reasoning as why you don't cut square holes in the hull or bulkheads of ships. Meh, no Google job for me.

1 ) Manhole covers are round because covers are made up of concrete and they are easy to move from one place to another by just rolling from one hand . 😉 That's what I thought 😊

“He landed on boardwalk” shows car on park place

That second one didn't seem too hard imo and seems like the sort of thing they would normally ask at their interviews.

Question no.2,4,and 5 are actually asked in some entrance examinations for undergraduate programs in india.

I love that last one

The second question came in my exam and I got full marks I'm from India BTW

Did anyone notice that the animation at 3:15 is incorrect; it does not match the caption.

can't believe I got the second one right with some math going on in my head which certainly I didn't understand.

Now, what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Say this to the guy before test: - I can prove that there is a person who works here without having answered a single question. - who? - The guy who created Google - You're hired

The pirate question was answered incorrectly because if you, the captain, die then someone else takes your place to propose a plan and lets say the same rules still apply to the next captain. Now, imagine that all but two pirates remain after all others have been killed. If that is the case, the captain gives himself all of the gold and votes for the plan so that even if the other pirate votes against it he will still get all of the gold. From now on I will designate the last remaining pirate pirate 1 , the second last pirate 2 and so on. If three pirates remain the captain cannot please pirate 2 since pirate 2 knows that if he gets pirate 3 killed pirate 2 gets all of the gold. Instead pirate 3 gives pirate 1 one gold piece and himself the rest, knowing that pirate 1 will vote for it because if he does not pirate 1 gets nothing, the captain obviously votes for it as well making up more than 50%. Pirate 2 now knows that if only 3 pirates remain he will get nothing, meaning he will vote for any plan that gives him one gold piece if 4 pirates remain. Therefore, pirate 4 , the current captain gives himself all gold except one piece and gives pirate two the other piece. At this point you may have noticed the pattern. TLDR: You simply give every second pirate one piece and yourself the rest. So you give pirate n almost all gold, pirate n-1 nothing, pirate n-2 one piece and so on.

is there a way to copy the video title of any KZfaq into clipboard on Android ? is there a way to run Solaris on mobile units including phones and tablets ?

The question on the angle of clock arms was very easy

Best answer: "Wait, let me Google that!"

clock's hands overlap 23 times. The hands at 11:55pm was not counted by the video uploader.

Why wash a window in Seattle when it's already always raining ?

Can someone please tell what's the music in the background.... Its amazing I'm begging help me please...

The first one is not weird in any way. That is a question I often asked my mom when I was younger and honestly, that question is a pretty easy question to answer if you think about it. The second one: if you don't get the question (even after the hint) I recommend learning how to read time again. I guess 3 was weird, unless you live in Seattle XD. There's a TedEd video about 4 so I'm pretty sure that that one is not weird. 5 makes you think, it's a good question for an interview. 6, not weird again, it's a tech company do you expect them to ask you "So what's 2+2?". 7, hilarious XD. The majority of them weren't weird; Google is a tech company looking for bright minds, and these questions test your speed, critical thinking, knowledge, etc. If Google wouldn't ask questions like these, we wouldn't have the Google we have today because then it would be full of stupid people claiming they are smart.

U guys made a little mistake in your explanation at 0:49. The "BIG" hand is on three and the "LITTLE" hand is 1/4 of the way. You said it vise versa.

Thanks Google for giving me an aneurism.

A Database is like your toy chest, Billy. You put your toys inside of them to keep safe. You can also open them to play with your toys later on, like right now!

the angle for the clock question was quite easy

1) Round and square aren't the only options for shapes of a manhole. The manhole cover is also 3-dimensional so it could concave or have parts to lock it in place and prevent it from falling. 2) An analog clock has an hour hand that rotates half a degree every minute. Since the question does not include seconds, 3:15:59 is still considered 3:15 so the answer would be acceptable between 7.5 and 8 degrees. 3) Why the hell would you be a basic bitch and only charge $10 per window? You would make the same amount for a small window at ground level as you would cleaning a larger window at the top of a skyscraper. You should provide an in depth equation including where the window is, how big it is, and if the employer would notice if the window was clean or not. 4) We are talking pirates! They don't live that long so you shouldn't feel bad if you pinned them against each other. Depending on how many pirates you will still need if you don't retire with the loot you should say it's a sword fight to the death and the last 5 or so standing divide the money instead of everyone getting small amounts and they will agree because they are greedy. When the tournament or massacre is over split the money with fewer people or use your gun to eliminate the exhausted and scurvy riddled victors and split the money with your damn self. 5) They didn't specify what kind of clock and since i have a digital, the answer is 0. 6) An eight-year old should be smart enough to Google any questions that he/she might have, if not good luck explaining anything to the dumb kid. 7) Not everyone has played monopoly because it takes too long and this is America so the man was probably robbed on his way to the hotel. Some people pose as valet and take your car so maybe he left his fortune in his glove compartment. Glove compartment seems like a poor name since no sane person wears driving gloves anymore. Honestly, fortune could also refer to a fortune from a fortune cookie and those little pieces of paper get lost so easily. Google give me a job

all those question is fun!! thanks for sharing^^

I can do it in one sentence, I think. A database is an encyclopedia inside a computer.

You know what, why Google does not ask this kind of questions anymore because these questions were never asked in Google

The Last question should be explained like "Database is like a Tiffin box where you can keep things you like". :P

lol i love how google just fucks with you milk toast square bear college graduates with questions like this when you're walking in there all nervous like your future is on the line lol.. gotta love the system.

As a 13 year old i got most of these i even got the monopoly one but i said if you land on mayfair as a car not "broadwalk"

Can not show this film

Superior! Intrusting questions with the logic

Is really that clock turns 22 tmies a Day? In slow-mo it seems like the numbers arent matching with clock exacly

The last one was unfair because not everybody has that version of the game. For example, I have one version with a candle, a mushroom, an apple, a pepper grinder and a bottle of wine instead of an hat, a car, a dog etc..

some of these are easy af. there's no way they were banned for being too complicated.

I feel so stupid and ignorant, completely clueless on all of these questions...
