The Hidden Questions from a Google Interview

- Do you think you're the one to be the next Googler?

By: Bogdan Popa, Security and Search Engines Editor

Many of you dream to work for Google. The Mountain View company is described as a paradise from the outside while the people inside confirm it. Besides the amazing work conditions such as great food and 20 percent of the work time for individual projects, the Googlers are working in
a nice and friendly atmosphere that makes you dream you can also be a new friend of Larry or Sergey. At this time, there are several job openings published on the Google Jobs page so go over there and choose the one you like. Obviously, the hard mission is the interview, the conversation with the Google representative that will decide if you're the one for the job. As you probably know, you have to answer several questions in order to allow the super giant choose the best one.

If you have ever thought that you have all it takes to work for the Mountain View company, you should read the following questions provided by Tihomir Nakov that are included in the Google job interview.

"How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?
How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle?
Explain a database in three sentences to your eight-year-old nephew.
Imagine you have a closet full of shirts. It’s very hard to find a shirt. So what can you do to organize your shirts for easy retrieval?"

These are the easiest ones. But read the following question that might convince you to look for another job:

"Every man in a village of 100 married couples has cheated on his wife. Every wife in the village instantly knows when a man other than her husband has cheated, but does not know when her own husband has. The village has a law that does not allow for adultery. Any wife who can prove that her husband is unfaithful must kill him that very day. The women of the village would never disobey this law. One day, the queen of the village visits and announces that at least one husband has been unfaithful. What happens?"

All the questions were published by Tihomir Nakov on his blog. If you want to read all the questions as the author provides them, click on this link to visit his page.
