I can't remember if this was somethign I saw on TV or someone told me or what.
Guy has a moving company. He interviews some people to be movers. He has a rather large safe in his office sitting on the floor. He asks each applicant to explain how they would move the safe. He interviewed a bunch of people. The guy who looked at him and said "I could never move that by myself" was the guy he hired. Palit, Nilanjan said: > $> perl -e '$x=1; $y=($x++)+1; print "x=$x, y=$y\n"' I'd view this is one of those kinds of questions. If the guy got it wrong, I wouldn't ding him for it. If he protested indignation, "I'd never write code like taht" I'd probably give him a plus one. If he got it wrong wtihout comment, I'd probably give him a minus 1. If he got it right without comment, it would probably be a wash, so I'd give him zero. _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
