I would think that critical thinking correlates back to a software development position. Their job is literally to use critical thinking skills to solve problems.
There's a fine line between questions that provoke out-of-the-box thinking and those simply way off. Critical thinking would be one of the most important skills in problem solving, whereas esoteric knowledge isn't. And interviewees could be competitive in a way that they are meticulous or creative or articulate among other things, but rarely can a person be all of these. Good interview questions should allow people to demonstrate their abilities and individuality, as opposed to just sounding bad-ass. [ Just a clarification since many people are reading this, 'them' in my original comment mostly refers to brain teasers and strictly knowledge-based questions (I'm not assuming all the questions in the videos are, because my original comment was a response to the video description in an attempt to point out that 'so hard' isn't the most accurate description.) Just wanted to say questions are not banned because they are hard, but they may not be the most informative question to ask the majority of interviewees from time to time. ]
Alex Yang, yes but there's also something to be said about these difficult questions, what does the person do? Bluff? Admit they would need to think about the question for a while, etc. it's not always about providing the correct answer.
Malcolm Mathias that's what I was thinking when they asked that question.i was like " what the hell are you asking we have square manholes, come check it out in India" nothing is impossible in India
But the holes are square too over here, so it makes perfect sense. What they meant is that because the holes are circular the square covers would fall in.
E50AK No, they meant that a square cover can fall through the square hole that it is sized for, because the diagonal of the square is significantly longer than any of the sides. The cover could easily fall through if it fell at an angle to the hole. Not so for circular covers and holes, since there is no angle in which the diameters are different.
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.

I thought it was that the man had pushed his car to the hotel because of a bet. If he had conpleted his task, he would lose his fortune. The fortune, though, was the name of the car and the reward would be whatever he wanted. Bam. Though i do admit that the boardwalk one was crazy out of the box thinking
Nishpakch Indian Some of these questions are silly, but others are fair questions that require critical thinking and problem solving. Google probably wants smart people with good problem solving skills, so they used these as a way to test them. I think the second question was pretty decent.
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.
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.
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.
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?".
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.
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
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.
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 ;)
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. ☺️
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.
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
Right? These barely take any time to answer. Or I guess I was a curious child and questions like "Why are manhole covers round?" and "What are databses/servers/other stuff?" (Yeah I was a nerd)
Shubhra Mishra Chill out do u think these are the only questions they ask? They also ask a lot of hard computer science or whatever questions that are related to the job they are applying for. But those questions are hard but u are expected to be able to answer those. The answer u give on the types of questions in the video are what make u stand out from the rest of applicants. A lot of times there is definite answer but its how u answer the question so they see how u think.
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
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)
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°.
nope. if youre dividing each hour into five parts that means each part is 12 minutes on the minute hand (i.e. the minute hand moves 12 units (mins) for every one unit the hour hand moves). 15/12 = 5/4 units moved by the hour hand. 6° per unit. 6 * 5/4 = 7.5°. doesnt matter how you divide it. using 1/4 is easier to understand though, because we know that 15 units on the minute hand is 1/4 of an hour, i.e. 1/4 of the 30° between 3 and 4. idk where youre getting 3/4 from, you just judging it by eye?
It's not wrong, you are over complicating it. You agree the angle between each hour is 30°, but you are being misled by the number of lines between each hour. There could be 4, 5 or even 78,000 lines between each hour; these do not determine what you divide the 30° angle by. 15 minutes will always rotate the minute hand 1/4 of 30° away from the hour hand, so 30÷4=7.5% 👍
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.
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
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
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.
I considered the pirate question as simple, I might have got the nephew question. The car "question" I do not take seriously. In Germany there are squared "manholes" and none cares...
SPOILER ALERT 1. About the pirate crew, I would go with 50% (50% is not less than half) :D 2. For database i would go with non abstract explanation like: It's similar to a library, better yet to your toys box. When you want to play with pony, you go there and pick the ones you want to play with. In database you pick information you want to play with. Finishing question, if I were looking to find out your ponies names who would be my database? 3. About a car and lost fortune. My answer would be, exactly that "a man pushed his car to a hotel and lost his fortune, both happened" :D
How will I explain to my eight year old nephew what database is? Just play your Damn game and don't worry about shit that doesn't matter in your life 😂😂😂
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 manhole and 3:15 angle question seem like pretty simple questions for the type of person Google would be interviewing. I got both of them and there's no way in hell i'm smart enough to work at Google.
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.
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.
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!
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 😊
It takes 60 mins for the minute hand to do one full rotation, but by that time, the hour hand is at the 1hr mark, so ~5 mins later, they will overlap. 65 mins per hour, divide 24hrs by 65 mins = ~22 times.
Imagine hour needle and minute needle started at 12'o clock. For a minute needle to come to do full rotation it takes 60 minutes or one hour. In that time hour needle moved from 12 to next number marked which is 1'o clock, that is 5 mins from 12 to 1'o clock on a clock. Both needles passed each other hence at 65 mins, 60 mins moved by minute needle, 5 mins moved by hour needle. 24/65=22. 24 hrs*60 min=1440 mins in a day. Both units should be in minutes for next step. 1440/65 min= 22.15 times needles cross each other.
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.)
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..
Asks riddles that the person giving interviews couldn't figure out himself because they were nearly trick questions that don't have much to do with the job.
Google ban them because these type of question don't correlate much to employees' performance according to stats.
Alex Yang Actually those questions are perfect
Obscure riddles don't correlate to job performance? I'm shocked -.-
I would think that critical thinking correlates back to a software development position. Their job is literally to use critical thinking skills to solve problems.

Could we possibly Google the answers during the interview
Use a third party browser to piss them off

Open brazzers infront of them. lol

how the hell can a pirate captain wash all the windows in seattle at exactly 3:15 and still lose his fortune
His fortune fell in the manhole
@@papayapenetrator2290 bahhahahahahah thats funny lmao
Because he had gone outside and played and fell on the manhole
they are tired of being billionaire's ,now they fuck with people .
They remain billionaires BECAUSE they fuck with people
lol no wonder in india we have manholes which are square

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 :|
if and only if you are applying for an engineering role of course (?)
Yea because they've stopped asking these questions now.

Thekillerseadog Gamer walton A fortune cookie fell out the man's pocket as he was pushing.
blahh blah I was gonna say the dude was in Detroit and just got robbed. #whyidontworkforgoogle
I thought he pushed his car downhill and it crashed into the building. The repair was so costly that he lost everything.
Lmao
I thought it was that the man had pushed his car to the hotel because of a bet. If he had conpleted his task, he would lose his fortune. The fortune, though, was the name of the car and the reward would be whatever he wanted. Bam. Though i do admit that the boardwalk one was crazy out of the box thinking
These Qs have nothing to do with Google
Nishpakch Indian They have to do with intelligent thinking, which Google wants.
Theguy Mich ... I said that this is wrongly bring related to Google's interview Qs. They never ask such silly Qs in their interviews
Nishpakch Indian Some of these questions are silly, but others are fair questions that require critical thinking and problem solving. Google probably wants smart people with good problem solving skills, so they used these as a way to test them. I think the second question was pretty decent.
Theguy Mich ...again I am saying that Google never asked such Qs. Don't know why you are associating with google
Theguy Mich agree
Mad respect for the ones who passed the questions and got the job
I bet some of the guys who refused to answer these questions eventually became the competition.
they don't need the correct answer they just check your confidence ...

Aaron Buce well did you answer them correctly?
Aaron Buce me too but I'm not even born yet

Josh Shaffer yeah man I too noticed it
Where can i apply?

Really, those were too complicated? Google, here I come!
They weren't complicated so much as irrelevant

These are actually pretty fun questions but absolutely nightmarish in an interview when you are nervous af.
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
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.

Even if performance doesn't correlate with getting these questions right, they do give the company a sort of mystical and unique feel.
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.

Shashank Bhagwat they expect answers on the spot
Right? These barely take any time to answer. Or I guess I was a curious child and questions like "Why are manhole covers round?" and "What are databses/servers/other stuff?" (Yeah I was a nerd)
Shashank Bhagwat these are just questions in addition to the hard job related ones that require thinking and writing.
Shubhra Mishra Chill out do u think these are the only questions they ask? They also ask a lot of hard computer science or whatever questions that are related to the job they are applying for.

There could be 4, 5 or even 78,000 lines between each hour; these do not determine what you divide the 30° angle by.
15 minutes will always rotate the minute hand 1/4 of 30° away from the hour hand, so 30÷4=7.5% 👍

Ah we have google. We can google these answers simple. 😂
Thanks Google for giving me an aneurism.
Database: A place where information is stored.
I fail, I can't think of 3 sentences.
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
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 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.

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.

he was talking about the clock question
SigmaSixSoftware thank you
I thought he was joking just like what chris understood...
I considered the pirate question as simple, I might have got the nephew question. The car "question" I do not take seriously. In Germany there are squared "manholes" and none cares...
The Last question should be explained like "Database is like a Tiffin box where you can keep things you like". :P
Best answer: "Wait, let me Google that!"
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.
2:10 *"now go outside and play"*
Lol
SPOILER ALERT
1. About the pirate crew, I would go with 50% (50% is not less than half) :D
2. For database i would go with non abstract explanation like: It's similar to a library, better yet to your toys box. When you want to play with pony, you go there and pick the ones you want to play with. In database you pick information you want to play with. Finishing question, if I were looking to find out your ponies names who would be my database?
3. About a car and lost fortune. My answer would be, exactly that "a man pushed his car to a hotel and lost his fortune, both happened" :D
How will I explain to my eight year old nephew what database is?
Just play your Damn game and don't worry about shit that doesn't matter in your life 😂😂😂
There occurred a huge variation in my ego before and after the video.
So you basically have to be really good at maths to work at Google. Hahaha! Looks like I’m never working there!
Wow! This was so impressive!:) Good job!
how to explain a database: someone else's computer
some of these are easy af. there's no way they were banned for being too complicated.
Give one coin to the person who will make the distribution strategy when you die. Assuming the entire crew is smart.
Asks question, me: hold on I got something important looks up answer
Google: why are manhole covers round ?
Me: (open Siri)
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
Did anyone notice that the animation at 3:15 is incorrect; it does not match the caption.
the manhole and 3:15 angle question seem like pretty simple questions for the type of person Google would be interviewing. I got both of them and there's no way in hell i'm smart enough to work at Google.
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.
clock's hands overlap 23 times. The hands at 11:55pm was not counted by the video uploader.
HOLY SHIT THESE ARE GOOD SHIT MAN LIKE THEY SHOULD KEEP THESE QUESTIONS OMFG
Now, clocks and watches are going digital.
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.
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.
the angle for the clock question was quite easy
"He landed on Boardwalk" except he's clearly on Park Place.
It's more like a riddle than a question
Now I dont hesitate to apply for the google for a job.
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!
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.
at 3:15 the little hand is NOT on the 3. its the big hand thats on the 3..... and the small hand is 3/4 google failed at its own test
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 😊
hows overlapping ans 22 anf not 24
It takes 60 mins for the minute hand to do one full rotation, but by that time, the hour hand is at the 1hr mark, so ~5 mins later, they will overlap. 65 mins per hour, divide 24hrs by 65 mins = ~22 times.
I feel immensely stupid now, but thanks
ASD I'm stupid, that one made no sense to me lol
Imagine hour needle and minute needle started at 12'o clock. For a minute needle to come to do full rotation it takes 60 minutes or one hour.
In that time hour needle moved from 12 to next number marked which is 1'o clock, that is 5 mins from 12 to 1'o clock on a clock.
Both needles passed each other hence at 65 mins, 60 mins moved by minute needle, 5 mins moved by hour needle.
24/65=22.
24 hrs*60 min=1440 mins in a day.
Both units should be in minutes for next step.
1440/65 min= 22.15 times needles cross each other.
Google should have people like you
Why is the clock answer not 23? Also, the sewer cap question originated at Microsoft.
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.)
My answer gave rise to another question... Now google has to answer that question... Fair trade...
Man, my double braincells don't get paid enough for this shit.
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..
The clock one is wrong. It overlaps 23 times. They forgot to add one for 12:00 am which is part of the day
Ryan Kearns Thats what I said
Asks riddles that the person giving interviews couldn't figure out himself because they were nearly trick questions that don't have much to do with the job.
How is the clock's hands overlap questions answer not 23? Could someone explain? I feel so stupid for not figuring this one out.
can’t you say for 1:09 the windows wash themselves from the rain?
Can I google those questions?
So there was two nickel sized guys in a blender, and now we're saving lives? WHAT!?
On the question at 2:20 I answered "he dropped his fortune cookie out of his pocket while pushing. Ha, that was clever now give me the job!!
can't believe I got the second one right with some math going on in my head which certainly I didn't understand.
describe database in 3 sentences to ur 8yo nephew = where your data saved, answered this less than 3 sentences lol
