Some frequently asked puzzles : Since in most of the interviews (Microsoft, Walmart Labs, VMware and many others) puzzles are being asked, lets start our discussion with few simple, but frequently asked questions : 1. Given a rectangular cake with a rectangular piece removed (any size or orientation), how would you cut the remainder of the cake into two equal halves with one straight cut of a knife? 2. You have 8 balls. One of them is defective and weighs less than others. You have a balance to measure balls against each other. In 2 weighings how do you find the defective one? 3. Why is a manhole cover round? 4. If you had an infinite supply of water and a 5 quart and 3 quart pail, how would you measure exactly 4 quarts? 5. You’ve got someone working for you for seven days and a gold bar to pay them. The gold bar is segmented into seven connected pieces. You must give them a piece of gold at the end of every day. If you are only allowed to make two breaks in the gold bar, how do you pay your worker?
