Recently Dan posted a rant on interview puzzles. The other day I overheard someone a few cubes away telling the one about the 3 and 5 gallon jugs. I just figured he was talking to someone he knew like his kids or wife since he talks to them a lot.

Then I heard him say “That’s ok, you were on the right track. You almost had my solution.” I guess the person on the phone asked what his answer was because then I heard him describe a pouring or two followed by “And then I mark the level with a pen…” When he finished his telling I heard him say “You’re great! I’m going to send your info up to HR with my recommendation.”

If your’re going to ask those questions you should at least make sure you know what is considered the “correct” answer.

You are a Samurai.
You are full of honour and value respect. You
are not really the stereotypical hero, but you
do fight for good. Just in your own way. For
you, it is most certainly okay to kill an evil
person, if it is for justice and peace. You
also don’t belive in mourning all the time and
think that once you’ve hit a bad stage in life
you just have to get up again. It’s pointless
to concentrate on emotional pain and better to
just get on with everything. You also are a
down to earth type of person and think before
you act. Impulsive people may annoy you
somewhat.
