All four sides can not be facing the same way. 1: there are four directions, NSEW. 2: Walls have two sides (if you don’t count the top/bottom/sides. 6 if you count top/bottom/front/back/left/right. *so at least one side is always facing another direction*
Hi Chase, I was being flippant hence the smiley face. However, since the question is about the colour of a bear we must assume that it is that old chestnut about a house on the North pole where every direction you face is South. The question can only relate to the outside walls face direction or we would have to assume that the house has zero volume so that every wall is exactly on the North Pole (this is, of course, physically impossible). If you don't make the assumption (dangerous thing to do) that the question relates to the direction the outside walls are facing, the problem becomes irrelevant and ceases to become a brain teaser and not worth publishing or indeed using as an interview question. Incidentally, I first heard this brain teaser at school over 50 years ago and I don't believe for a second that Google use it as an interview question.
Same! I thought my phone was broken so I went to another video and saw that video had sounds so I went back here to read the comments. I guess I'm not alone
Another way to solve the jar riddle: fill the 3- liter jar and pour it into the 5- liter jar. Do the same again until the 5-liter jar is full. Now, since 3 + 2 is 5, you should have 1 liter left in the 3 - liter jar. Empty the 5 - liter jar and then pour the 1 liter into it. Fill the 3 - liter jar again and pour it into the 5 - liter jar. Along with the 1 liter of water already in there, there will be 4 total liters in the 5 - liter bottle.
There are some easier way too, just fill 5 litre jar half way and 3 litre jar half way, hen from 3 litre jar pour in to 5 litre jar - 2,5 l + 1,5 l = 4 litres. Woala!
@@arminsg6900 No, that does not work because you cannot confidently pour exactly half a jar of water (there are no markings on the side). The point of the puzzle is that you must reach 4 liters by pouring full jars at a time. It is impossible to do exact proportions because the only thing the jars say is the volume of the *entire* jar.
@@UD-tu1ue so you would be able to pour every single drop from jar full to the brim, yes? In video there are lines and none of them (5 and 3) are at top of the brim. So there still be inacurate volume measured
I answered just one that is JAR WITH 3 AND 5 LTS. : My solution was fill the 5 ltr jar two times by 3 ltr jar , (3-3 ltr) water then you have 1 ltr water in 3 ltr jar then empty the 5 ltr water pour that 1 ltr water of 3 ltr jar in 5 ltr jar and again fill the 3 ltr jar and pour it in 5 ltr water that have already 1 ltr.
Well for the #3 I have another answer :- fill the 3 litre jar first than pour it to 5 litre jar, then again fill 3 litre jar then pour it to 5 litre jar , there will be 1 litre remaining water in 3 litre jar, then empty the 5 litre jar and pour that 1 litre in 5 litre jar, then again fill the 3 litre and pour it to 5 litre jar. That's it we get 4 litre water in 5 litre jar.☺😊
Very nice, the water jar puzzle solved with only 6 moves! I thought of another solution, but it requires 8 moves: STEP-1> Fill the 3L jar. STEP-2> Dump 3L of water in the 5L jar. STEP-3> Refill the 3L jar. STEP-4> Using the 3L jar, fill the big jar till the top, and you will have 1L of water left in the 3L jar (because the 5L jar already contained 3L, leaving room for only 2L more). STEP-5> Empty the 5L jar. STEP-6 Take the 3L jar (which now has only 1L of water) and dump it in the 5L jar. STEP-7> Refill the 3L jar to the top. STEP-8> Add those 3L of water to the 1L in the big jar, and you get exactly 4L. Thanks to the uploader, cheers!
Listen to the question, there were no foot steps! They wont just end up randomly in the desert and even if he does then he will look around for water instead of just dying leaving footsteps.
My solution for the jar question was, Fill the 3 litre jar and put it in the 5 litre jar then fill the 3 litre jar again and move it to the 5 litre jar leaving 1 litre in the 3 litre jar the tip the 5 litre jar out and put the 1 litre from the 3 litre jar in there then refill the 3 litre jar tip that into the 5 litre jar so now you have 4 litres
There's a lot of solutions to that one , I thought the easiest would be simply to fill up the 5l completely, and dump it in the 3l jar till it's full, leaving you with 2l in the 5l jar. Empty the two liters in a container, repeat the process, you got 4l
Swag Kitty Gaming , as per the question there were no traces. Generally in desert if one was to walk it leaves traces. So if he walked in from any direction then there would be traces. The only direction left is when someone falls from the sky. And only way some one falls from a sky is to jump out of a plane. The one reason a person jumps outs is when there is a situation that was explained in the video. Hope this helps.
Shatakshi maji, Well, as per the question there is a match stick in hand, which means that the scene is fresh. So that rules away the sand storm. Coz chances are that the storm can take the match stick out of the equation.
@Minute Mines: It is at least equally or even more unlikely that someone who jumped from a plane without a parachute would still clutch the broken match he drew before the jump in his dead hand - which is the weak point of this riddle question.
The "break the pills into halves" thing doesn't make much sense. Capsules like that are usually full of powder or liquid and breaking them in half will just make a mess.
For the jar one, you could also put something under it to collect the water. Fill the 3 liter up with the 5 liter. 2 Will spill over into the collection. Empty the 3 litre into the sink and do the experiment again, and you will have 4 litres of overflow. Alternatively, you could fill the 5 litre 3 times without ever emptying it and collect the extra that falls off. 3*3 = 9. 9-5=4. So you'd have 4 liters spill over onto the collection plate.
2 better questions: can you build a house in the middle of the Arctic Ocean? &: will you see a polar bear there? Answers: probably not and probably not
O Alem actually you can build a house there. would it be safe? Probably not though 😂😂 and you would probably slightly see polar bears there since they hunt their prey there
I answered the question of the man with the match using the fact that he is in a desert, he died out of thirst and maybe hunger. He can't possibly jump out of a plain while still holding his match, that's so bizarre.
To measure 4L using the 5L and 3L jugs I did the following: Fill 3L jug, empty into 5L. Fill 3L jug again, top up 5L jug. You have 1L left in 3L jug. Empty 5L jug. Transfer 1L from 3L to 5L jug Fill up 3L jug and empty this into the 5L. There, you have 4L in the 5L jug. I took more steps than the answer the video gave, but still found a way of doing it.
Lovely video content! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Schallingora Information Investigation Scheme (do a search on google)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.
I solved the water puzzle differently. Fill 3 liter jar, pour into 5 liter jar Now you have 3liters water in a 5liter jar Fill 3 liter jar again, use it to fill 5liter jar Now you have 1liter in 3liter Jar and a full 5liter jar Empty the 5liter jar and pour the remaining 1liter of water from the 3liter jar into the 5 liter jar. Fill the 3liter jar once more and pour it into the 5liter jar to get a total of 4 liters. :)
I got the water one correct, but a different way. Fill the 3 pour into the 5 twice. You will have 1 liter in the 3 liter container. Pour out the 5 liter container. Pour the 1 liter currently in the 3 liter container into the 5 liter container. Last fill the 3 liter container and pour into the 5 liter container.
The pills can't simply be divided in half, they are capsules. If you divide capsules in half you just get a bunch of powder that you would have to weigh equally to get the right dosage. If you have access to a scale, then you can weigh out which pill it which. If they weigh the same you can check the powder coloration, scent or density to distinguish between the two types.
About the measuring 4 liters of water riddle you can do it another way too. If you start by filling up the 3l jar then pour the 3 liters into the 5l jar. Then fill up the 3l jar again. With the water in the 3l jar fill the 5 l to the top. Now you have 1 liter in the 3l jar and the 5l jar is full. Throw away the 5 loters and put the 1 liter in the big jar. Now fill up the 3l jar again and if you pit it in the 5l jar you now have exactly 4liters water in the 5 liter jar.
There were lines on the liter jars so couldn't you just fill the five liter up to the four liter mark by looking at it at eye level and using the miniscus. Everything doesn't have to be super complicated😂🤔
I was actually trying to figure out how to do when there are no lines because the illustration that shown prior to the solution doesn't have any lines lol With lines its very simple.
You are sitting in a car starving, thirsty and you really need money. Suddenly you see three doors behind the first door there is all your favourite food, behind the second door there is lots of drinking water and behind the third door, there are 1 million dollars. Which door will you open first? Answer - The car's door 😂😂😂😂
In the jars puzzle, you could place the 3 liters jar containing 2 litters, inside the 5 liters jar, the space occupied by the 3 liters jar will redduce the amount of water that the big jar can contain, so if we fill the big jar, we would have 2 liters inside the small jar and 2 liters inside the big one, that sums 4 liters
Its just a matter of two type of pills so u can dissolve all the pills in water then drink half so the solution in the morning and half in the evening....
Sound is not working for me either, but the good news is, you don't need the sound, Google no longer asks trick questions, so you can skip this video, although I do recommend other Bright Side Videos, it is a really cool channel. Disclaimer, I worked at Google as a Recruiter for five years :)
For the water one, it’d be easier to fill the 3 liter, pour that into the 5 liter which now holds 3 liters of water. Refill the three liter, pour it into the 5 liter which will fill to 5 leaving exactly 1 liter in the 3 liter jar.
For #5, the riddle says there are 4 pills - 2 pills of each type. Cut each pill exactly in half - Take 4 halves of the 4 pills in morning and then the other 4 halves in the evening.
I've been thinking about the first question so i gonna modify a little bit. There are 2 Balls. One of them weights slightly more then the other. Which one is heavier ? Without using Scales.
the jug one can be done the other way around. fill 3 litres pour into 5 litre, fill 3 pour 2 litre into 5 litre. (1 litre remaining in the 3 litre jar) empty the 5 litre jar, pour the 1 litre into the empty 5 litre jar then fill 3 litre again and pour that into the 5 litre jar = 4 litres
There is another solution for the water one: Fill the 3 leaters and empty it into the 5 Fill the 3 litres again and empty 2 litres into the 5. Discard the 5 litres Pour the litre remaining in the small jar into the large Fill the small jar and empty it into the large Longer but it is what i thought of 🙂
Fill the 5 liter jar twice with a full 3 litter jar. The extra amount left over in the 3 liter jar after the second fill is 1 liter. Empty the 5 liter jar somewhere, fill it with the leftover 1 liter and a full 3 liters. There's multiple solutions to most of these.
For the jar problem, I solved it by just filling the 3 L jar to the max, then pour it into the 5 L one. then refill the 3 liters jar and pour it to the 5 L one. The excessive amount is one liter. Thus, I can collect the part that overflows and empty the 5 liters jar. Finally, pour the 1 liter in the 5 L jar and refill the 3 liters jar and pour the 3 liters in the 5 L jar. You have never mentioned the dimensions of the jar, so I can have a bigger circumference for the 3 L jar and a smaller circumference for the 5 L in a way that I can collect the excessive water.
At night it's cold in the desert so he tried to make a fire to make himself warm, he didn't succeed so he died. Plausible response, better than the parachute one, why would he jump voluntarily after all ? Also the third question you can do it this way --> Fill the third litter one and pour the water in the five litter one, make the five litter one full then pour the water in the third one, you'll have 2 litters in the 5 litter jar. Empty the third jar and pour the 2 litters in the 3 litters jar which will leave the 5 litter jar empty. Fill the 5 litter jar and pour water until the third one is filled. It sounds simmilar idk :)) Except the last one I got them all.
3:00 There is another possibility as well. Fill the 3 liter and empty it into the five liter. Then fill the 3 liter and empty it in to the 5 liter again. 1 liter will remain in the 3 liter. Now empty the 5 liter and transfer the 1 liter from the 3 liter container to the 5 liter container. Finally, fill the 3 liter container and add it to the 1 liter already in the 5 liter container. 3+1=4
So the language of the question is very important, which this video botched. The dead person is found in the desert with no tracks - meaning no vehicle tracks nor footsteps around the dead person. The only plausible explanation is he hit the ground falling from something flying overhead. The rest of the answer is speculation to match the limited information. This is a very old question as nobody on an airplane is going to have paper matches.
Lastly, I find it hard to believe Google asks the weighing balls question or the measuring liters question as both of these are simplistic and ancient riddles many people might have memorized.
For the first one i would take any two balls and if they were equal and considering that only one is more heavy than the others i will try every other ball till i get the right one with one of the equal weighing balls
that would take 4 measurements which is not the most productive provided you measure in pairs, and 7 if you compare 7 each individually to one. the best solution of 2 also is good to test someone's process of elimination. the first measurement will eliminate at least 5/8'ths of the balls in the first measurement. Translated into code, this would be preferred vs testing them all in pairs when you consider this could be happening millions of times at once, therefore significantly reducing a good chunk of the time it takes to do something which leads to performance improvements overall.
There’s another way to do #3 Fill up the 3 liter and pour into the 5. Fill up the three liter again and pour into 5 until full. Leaving 1 liter in the three. Then empty the 5 and pour the one liter that was in the 3 into five. Fill up the three and pour into 5 thus having 4 liters
I did the water riddle the opposite way. Fill the 3L and pour it into the 5L. Fill the 3L again and pour it into the 5L, leaving you with 1L in the 3L jar. Pour all of the water out of the 5L. Pour the 1L into the 5L bottle, fill the 3L bottle again and pour it into the 5L bottle, leaving you with 4L.
I found a different way to do question 3. You fill the 3L jar with water then pour it into the 5L jar, then you fill the 3 L jar again and pour it into the 5L jar until its full. Now you have 5L in the 5L jar and 1L in the 3L jar. Then you pour all the water out of the 5L jar and pour the 1L from the 3L jar into the 5L jar. After that, fill up the 3L jar with water and pour it into the 5L jar. 1L+3L=4L
Paused the video for the desert guy. Gave it a good long thought. Figured it was night, it was very cold, and he tried to start a fire. But since there was no wood, no leaves, nor anything to burn (because it's a desert), he had to use some of his clothes. That made him even colder when he undressed. It was windy and he never managed to get the fire going, because the match only grants you one try, and he blew it. He was very thirsty and his body had begun to collapse. The cold, the hunger, and specially the dehydration killed him. Boom, case closed... Then I watched the supposed 'answer' and was like: «He jumped of a plane, with no parachute, but somehow the match was still in his hand». And more importantly, how do you think his body would look like after falling from that height? That would be THE clue. One wouldn't even need to look at the match to establish a probable cause, I'd say. Thanks to the uploader, cheers!
on number 3 I would take 3l put that into the 5l take 3l again poor that in the 5l jar till its full empty the 5l jar put the leftover water from the 3l jar into the 5l fill the 3l jar again then pour that in the 5l jar BOOM
if you ever feel dumb, just remember that someone with an tested IQ of 140 (me) only got 1 question right (the bear one) and maybe only because I already knew the answer
Just to make sure, you found out your IQ via an official, real life IQ test and not an online one, because there is this huge epidemic on the internet where seemingly everyone has an 140 IQ, despite it being an incredibly rare reading. I'm not saying I don't believe you though
I know what you mean, but it actually is was an "offical, real life IQ test". And it wasn't one were you just sit in a room for an hour and answer some math questions; it was a psychologist to which I went 10 times over the span of 2,5 months, each session being for 1,5 hours and we did all sorts of weird tests etc
somehow I have about 5 or more friends with supposed iqs of over 140 who also happened to get tested by a professional psychologist. So I don't really trust iq tests anymore. Maybe the people that designed those tests made them too easy so that they could claim a high score themselves.
There is another way to solve riddle # 3. First Fill up the three liters and dump it into the 5L cup then refill the three liter and dump as much as you can into the 5L. You should have one liter left in the three litter cup. From there you dump out the full five liter cup and then you put the water from the three litter cup into the 5L cup. Fill up the three liter cup again and pour it into the 5L cup the one liter from before mixed with the three new liters equals four liters.
For number 3, my answer is different. 1st, fill the 3l container with water then put it on 5l container Then, fill the 3l container with water again then put it on 5l container until it is full Then, you have 1l in 3l container so empty the 5l container Then, put the 1l into the 5l container After that, fill the 3l container There you go, you have 4l
Lol, in regards to the liter jar, if that bottle has a measuring scale then theres no effin other way out to get the exact 4 liter water content of that effin jar lol!!!... how could u know if the jar really has been reduced by a certain number of liters... like are u really thinking? It isnt that hard though!
For the pills question. You divide the pills into two pairs arranged in front of you loosely. In order, you trade #3 with #2 then trade the new #3 with #1. Then you trade #4 with #1 then trade the new #4 with #2. Both pairs will now have 1 of each of the 2 types of pills no matter what combinations were made when you randomly split them.
#3 you can also fill the 3 l jar pour it into the 5 l jar, fill the 3 l jar and again pour it into the 5 l jar. You'll have 1 l left in the small jar. Pour out the bigger jar and add 1 l from the smaller jar. Fill the small one again with 3 l and pour into the bigger jar to make 4 l.
On question 3, there are multiple options. You could fill the three liter, por it in the five liter, and then fill the three liter again, then por till the five liter is full. Pour out the 5 liters of water, and pour the rest of the three liters water, witch i one liter, then fill the three liter, and then pour it in to the five liter. There you have 4 liter
You can fill the 3l jar then fill it in the 5l jar then fill again the 3l jar and fill it in the 5l jar = the 3l jar has 1l then throw the water from 5l jar and fill the 1l from the 3l jar to the 5l jar. Fill the 3l jar to the 5l jar = 3+1 = 4
For the water one can’t you fill the 3 liter jar dumping all of it into the 5 leader one then fill the 3 litter jar again leaving you with 3 and 3 then you pour the 3 litter jar into the 5 making 5 and 1 ( it will overflow some) then you dump out all 5 liters then you pour in the remaining 1 litter into the 5 litter jar then you fill the 3 litter jar and pour all of it into the 5 lite jar which leaves you with 3+1 which is four litters
For desert question - It can also be possible that guy was trying to survive in the shivering desert at night but couldn't ... And hold mathstick cz he tried it last night For water 5,4,3 L question- It can also be possible if we 1) first use 3L water pour it to 5 L and 2)then again use 3L water and pour it to 5 L thus remaining 1L in 3L flask 3) now throw 5L filled jar and then pour remaining 1L in 5L flask from 3L jar ... 4)Now again fill 3L jar and then add it to 5L flask thus making it to 4L (1L+ 3L)
You can also get 4 liters of water this way: Fill the 3L jar and dump it into the 5L jar Fill the 3L jar again and dump it into the 5L jar. It will leave 1L in the 3L jar. Completely empty the 5L jar and dump the 1L from the 3L jar into the 5L jar. Fill the 3L jar again and add it to the 1L in the 5L jar.
I did question 3 differently, I said take the 3L jar and fill it then pour it in to the 5L jar. now you have 3L out of 5L, and then fill the rest of the 5L jar with the 2L out of the 3L amount of water you have in the 3L jar to the 5L mark in the 5L jar, now you have 1L in the 3L jar.. so you pour out the water of the 5L jar because you have unlimited access to water then you pour the 1L in to the 5L and refill the 3L and pour that in the 5L and you end up with 4L.
The water one you can fill up the 3L pour it into 5L do it again and you’ll have one left over in the 3L jar. Dump the 5L jar and then put the extra one into the 5L jar. Finally fill up the 3L jar and then add it to the extra one from earlier.
FYI, there are no parachutes on passenger planes. There are also not that many matches in a matchbook, but plenty of actual straws on a plane, to “draw the short straw”. And you find a body that fell out of a plane, and the only thing you notice is a match? Not a huge dent in the ground and the exploded remains of what was once a man?
I had a different way. First full up the 3 liter then dump it into the 5 liter. Then fill the 3 liter again and dump all that you can into the 5 liter (2 liters). Now you have a full 5 liters in one jar and 1 liter in the 3 liter jar. Pour out the water from the 5 liter jar. Then pour the 1 liter from the 3 liter jar into the 5 liter jar. Then fill up the 3 liter jar and pour that into the 5 liter jar. Then you have 4 liters (1 liter + 3 liters).
I got a different answer for the jar question: Fill the 3 litre jar and pour it in the 5 litre jar; Re-do the process and you'll be left with the 5 litre jar full and the 3 litre jar with just 1 litre in it; Empty the 5 litre jar; Pour the remaining 1 litre in the 5 litre jar; Full the 3 litre jar and add it to the 5 litre jar that has 1 litre in it; 4 litre measured; Sound right?
fill the 3 liter up, pour it into the 5, fill the 3 liter up again and pour until the 5 is full, empty the 5 liter, transfer the 1 liter from the 3 to the 5 and then fill up the 3 and pour it into the 5

Another way to solve the jar riddle: fill the 3- liter jar and pour it into the 5- liter jar. Do the same again until the 5-liter jar is full. Now, since 3 + 2 is 5, you should have 1 liter left in the 3 - liter jar. Empty the 5 - liter jar and then pour the 1 liter into it. Fill the 3 - liter jar again and pour it into the 5 - liter jar. Along with the 1 liter of water already in there, there will be 4 total liters in the 5 - liter bottle.
lol that's what I did
Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking.
There are some easier way too, just fill 5 litre jar half way and 3 litre jar half way, hen from 3 litre jar pour in to 5 litre jar - 2,5 l + 1,5 l = 4 litres. Woala!
@@arminsg6900 No, that does not work because you cannot confidently pour exactly half a jar of water (there are no markings on the side).

Yes! Google's follow-up studies found no measurable correlation between interview puzzles and job performance. You can, well, "google" for details.
I don't think they did in the first place. Those brain teasers are very common knowledge even before the internet era.
vraiment?
I answered just one that is JAR WITH 3 AND 5 LTS.
: My solution was fill the 5 ltr jar two times by 3 ltr jar , (3-3 ltr) water then you have 1 ltr water in 3 ltr jar then empty the 5 ltr water pour that 1 ltr water of 3 ltr jar in 5 ltr jar and again fill the 3 ltr jar and pour it in 5 ltr water that have already 1 ltr.
Vivek Yadav yeah, thats my answer too
Nice one
Power of bob and vegene
yup same
THANK YOU. This is def the better way.
Well for the #3 I have another answer :- fill the 3 litre jar first than pour it to 5 litre jar, then again fill 3 litre jar then pour it to 5 litre jar , there will be 1 litre remaining water in 3 litre jar, then empty the 5 litre jar and pour that 1 litre in 5 litre jar, then again fill the 3 litre and pour it to 5 litre jar. That's it we get 4 litre water in 5 litre jar.☺😊
Translation Machine thats exactly what I thought
renuka shanmugam haha wow

They had this exact equation in Die Hard 3
I thought about filling half of both jars so you have 1.5 litres and 2.5 litres which after combining makes 4 litres

Very nice, the water jar puzzle solved with only 6 moves! I thought of another solution, but it requires 8 moves: STEP-1> Fill the 3L jar. STEP-2> Dump 3L of water in the 5L jar. STEP-3> Refill the 3L jar. STEP-4> Using the 3L jar, fill the big jar till the top, and you will have 1L of water left in the 3L jar (because the 5L jar already contained 3L, leaving room for only 2L more). STEP-5> Empty the 5L jar. STEP-6 Take the 3L jar (which now has only 1L of water) and dump it in the 5L jar. STEP-7> Refill the 3L jar to the top. STEP-8> Add those 3L of water to the 1L in the big jar, and you get exactly 4L. Thanks to the uploader, cheers!
The dude died of dehydration. The match was the last thing his mom's gave him. Bye.
Yes thought the same
That dude tried to lit fire all night but couldn't survive that cold!
Vinay Narayana that's what i thought
Listen to the question, there were no foot steps! They wont just end up randomly in the desert and even if he does then he will look around for water instead of just dying leaving footsteps.
Obviously, the desert storm erased his tracks and he died of cold trying to keep himself warm with the match. Too easy, give me something harder.
Q 4, Its not allowed to bring matches on a plane so How would he Get IT?
Andreas Aslaksen exactly
I know right... No flames on plane....
dun dun duuun
It shouldn't be a plane, it should be a balloon or something like that
You have a rare ability..

how do i raise my hand in the comment?
My solution for the jar question was,
Fill the 3 litre jar and put it in the 5 litre jar then fill the 3 litre jar again and move it to the 5 litre jar leaving 1 litre in the 3 litre jar the tip the 5 litre jar out and put the 1 litre from the 3 litre jar in there then refill the 3 litre jar tip that into the 5 litre jar so now you have 4 litres
Anya Lakin same here
Nice
that's what i thought and I'm correct
There's a lot of solutions to that one , I thought the easiest would be simply to fill up the 5l completely, and dump it in the 3l jar till it's full, leaving you with 2l in the 5l jar. Empty the two liters in a container, repeat the process, you got 4l
you only have 2 jars though, no extra container mentioned
Dead man in desert really can have 2 answers. Maybe it was a cold desert, which exists, and he tried to light a match to survive, but froze to death
Swag Kitty Gaming , as per the question there were no traces. Generally in desert if one was to walk it leaves traces. So if he walked in from any direction then there would be traces. The only direction left is when someone falls from the sky. And only way some one falls from a sky is to jump out of a plane. The one reason a person jumps outs is when there is a situation that was explained in the video. Hope this helps.
There might have been a sandstorm or something which wiped away all the traces maybe?
Shatakshi maji, Well, as per the question there is a match stick in hand, which means that the scene is fresh. So that rules away the sand storm. Coz chances are that the storm can take the match stick out of the equation.
Swag Kitty Gaming that what i tought
@Minute Mines: It is at least equally or even more unlikely that someone who jumped from a plane without a parachute would still clutch the broken match he drew before the jump in his dead hand - which is the weak point of this riddle question.
In #2, if he jumped from a plane, it would be clear from just looking at his body. Also why would he hold onto his unlucky match while jumping?
why not?
I don't know the answers, I'll just Google them-- Oh wait..
lol🤣
•Zepi• lol
hehe lolol :P
You r most welcome in my company "Google" .
*Ok Now I know the answers* *Thanks*
*Now it will be easier for me to get job in Google* *Thanks once again* 😂😂😂😂
Shreyas Dubey they don't give the same question for everyone 😂
Bruh there are other problems they will give you xDDD
lol
Lol u guys don't understand sarcasm
Shreyas Dubey I got that 😂😂
The "break the pills into halves" thing doesn't make much sense. Capsules like that are usually full of powder or liquid and breaking them in half will just make a mess.
It's based on the person who wish to think like this way
For the jar one, you could also put something under it to collect the water. Fill the 3 liter up with the 5 liter. 2 Will spill over into the collection. Empty the 3 litre into the sink and do the experiment again, and you will have 4 litres of overflow. Alternatively, you could fill the 5 litre 3 times without ever emptying it and collect the extra that falls off. 3*3 = 9. 9-5=4. So you'd have 4 liters spill over onto the collection plate.
2 better questions: can you build a house in the middle of the Arctic Ocean? &: will you see a polar bear there? Answers: probably not and probably not
O Alem actually you can build a house there. would it be safe? Probably not though 😂😂 and you would probably slightly see polar bears there since they hunt their prey there
The jars at 3:47 already have measurements per liter so.....
i know right
i was literally screaming
Skip the boring talking 0:52
Thanx!
Joshua thank you
Of course I saw 5his after I was done watching the video
*this
Joshua thanks
I answered the question of the man with the match using the fact that he is in a desert, he died out of thirst and maybe hunger.
He can't possibly jump out of a plain while still holding his match, that's so bizarre.
To measure 4L using the 5L and 3L jugs I did the following:
Fill 3L jug, empty into 5L.
Fill 3L jug again, top up 5L jug. You have 1L left in 3L jug.
Empty 5L jug.
Transfer 1L from 3L to 5L jug
Fill up 3L jug and empty this into the 5L. There, you have 4L in the 5L jug.
I took more steps than the answer the video gave, but still found a way of doing it.
There is another solution to puzzle 3. Fill the 3 to 5 and fill again the 3 to 5.
liter 1 remain in 3. empty the 5 an fill the 3 to 5.
I only got the bear one correct
tinygaming 123 Same!

Lovely video content! Apologies for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you researched - Schallingora Information Investigation Scheme (do a search on google)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning what you need to say to get hired in a job interview minus the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my friend got amazing results with it.
Herminia Orbe thanks and no I haven't searched it
tinygaming 123
ME TOO! That one was easy. I'm also only ten
I solved the water puzzle differently.
Fill 3 liter jar, pour into 5 liter jar
Now you have 3liters water in a 5liter jar
Fill 3 liter jar again, use it to fill 5liter jar
Now you have 1liter in 3liter Jar and a full 5liter jar
Empty the 5liter jar and pour the remaining 1liter of water from the 3liter jar into the 5 liter jar.
Fill the 3liter jar once more and pour it into the 5liter jar to get a total of 4 liters.
:)
I got the water one correct, but a different way. Fill the 3 pour into the 5 twice. You will have 1 liter in the 3 liter container. Pour out the 5 liter container. Pour the 1 liter currently in the 3 liter container into the 5 liter container. Last fill the 3 liter container and pour into the 5 liter container.
If i would be smarter for the man with matchstick , I would answer:
This is fake , no matches allowed in plane.
I would answer, he could have died of dehydration or old age too
Nope I don't want to work in google, I don't have the drive to solve rich people's problems
Prasun Goswami,
Well said!.👍
“Why do you want the job?”
Apparently “because the pay is good” is the wrong answer.
The pills can't simply be divided in half, they are capsules. If you divide capsules in half you just get a bunch of powder that you would have to weigh equally to get the right dosage. If you have access to a scale, then you can weigh out which pill it which. If they weigh the same you can check the powder coloration, scent or density to distinguish between the two types.
About the measuring 4 liters of water riddle you can do it another way too. If you start by filling up the 3l jar then pour the 3 liters into the 5l jar. Then fill up the 3l jar again. With the water in the 3l jar fill the 5 l to the top. Now you have 1 liter in the 3l jar and the 5l jar is full. Throw away the 5 loters and put the 1 liter in the big jar. Now fill up the 3l jar again and if you pit it in the 5l jar you now have exactly 4liters water in the 5 liter jar.
There were lines on the liter jars so couldn't you just fill the five liter up to the four liter mark by looking at it at eye level and using the miniscus. Everything doesn't have to be super complicated😂🤔
Actually the lines were there just to show us...in reality there were no lines on the jar. Now, think again about the answer.😏
I was actually trying to figure out how to do when there are no lines because the illustration that shown prior to the solution doesn't have any lines lol With lines its very simple.
I mean, you came here to face super complicated problems right?
I said that😂😂😂 but i figured it when i paused the video and i realized that he said i have unlimited suppl of water
Look up water jug problem in die hard 2. That’s where it’s from
For the pill one he just says you can’t break the dose so how can you break the pills
Yuna Shiigemura by break the those, they meant take it wrong
Two half sides of the same pill makes one whole so it’s not breaking the dose
You don’t know what a dose is, do u?
Absolutely correct
Justice W. Yeah but you're only taking half the dosage each time. For example if the pill is 500 mg then you're taking 500mg a day instead of 1000mg
You are sitting in a car starving, thirsty and you really need money. Suddenly you see three doors behind the first door there is all your favourite food, behind the second door there is lots of drinking water and behind the third door, there are 1 million dollars. Which door will you open first?
Answer - The car's door 😂😂😂😂
In the jars puzzle, you could place the 3 liters jar containing 2 litters, inside the 5 liters jar, the space occupied by the 3 liters jar will redduce the amount of water that the big jar can contain, so if we fill the big jar, we would have 2 liters inside the small jar and 2 liters inside the big one, that sums 4 liters
Bravo! Nice questions.
PILLS; Poor it in water and drink it all day fam!!!
PhillyVacca
smart
Oh dang!!
Your genius!
Its just a matter of two type of pills so u can dissolve all the pills in water then drink half so the solution in the morning and half in the evening....
What if the ingredients of the pills don't interact well together, though?
@@FutureBusinessTech Then the doctor shouldn't have prescribed them to be taken together.
Anyone here to check the comments whether the sound went off for others too after "wanna work at google" 😂
PS: I was doing the same😂
Me too
Sound is not working for me either, but the good news is, you don't need the sound, Google no longer asks trick questions, so you can skip this video, although I do recommend other Bright Side Videos, it is a really cool channel. Disclaimer, I worked at Google as a Recruiter for five years :)
For the water one, it’d be easier to fill the 3 liter, pour that into the 5 liter which now holds 3 liters of water. Refill the three liter, pour it into the 5 liter which will fill to 5 leaving exactly 1 liter in the 3 liter jar.
For #5, the riddle says there are 4 pills - 2 pills of each type. Cut each pill exactly in half - Take 4 halves of the 4 pills in morning and then the other 4 halves in the evening.
I've been thinking about the first question so i gonna modify a little bit.
There are 2 Balls.
One of them weights slightly more then the other.
Which one is heavier ? Without using Scales.
Jennifer Allardice it won’t. I’m not giving a physics lecture but that’s not exactly how it works
Jennifer Allardice woah all I said is that’s not how it works how am I on your back
The heavier one will displace more water.
Peter Rabbit no it won't, that has to do with size not weight
Drop them off a building..the one which reaches the ground earlier is the heavier
I'll just work for McDonald's. Yes, I guess that's what I'll do :(
Anees Sieed working in high position in Mcdonalds isn't a bad job i bet
the jug one can be done the other way around.
fill 3 litres pour into 5 litre,
fill 3 pour 2 litre into 5 litre. (1 litre remaining in the 3 litre jar)
empty the 5 litre jar,
pour the 1 litre into the empty 5 litre jar
then fill 3 litre again and pour that into the 5 litre jar
= 4 litres
There is another solution for the water one:
Fill the 3 leaters and empty it into the 5
Fill the 3 litres again and empty 2 litres into the 5.
Discard the 5 litres
Pour the litre remaining in the small jar into the large
Fill the small jar and empty it into the large
Longer but it is what i thought of 🙂
Is this really an interview question or a riddle? Im confused about this video
Hi Bright Side, I got all of them right. I will work at Google.
Seriously?! You got all of them right? You can't always be sure that they (Google) will ask you the same question.
Well, if a random internet stranger says so, it must be true.

(Thank me later 😉)
Thumbnail SNITCH! I also find it
Thumbnail SNITCH! Lol
Fill the 5 liter jar twice with a full 3 litter jar. The extra amount left over in the 3 liter jar after the second fill is 1 liter. Empty the 5 liter jar somewhere, fill it with the leftover 1 liter and a full 3 liters.
There's multiple solutions to most of these.
For the jar problem, I solved it by just filling the 3 L jar to the max, then pour it into the 5 L one. then refill the 3 liters jar and pour it to the 5 L one. The excessive amount is one liter. Thus, I can collect the part that overflows and empty the 5 liters jar. Finally, pour the 1 liter in the 5 L jar and refill the 3 liters jar and pour the 3 liters in the 5 L jar. You have never mentioned the dimensions of the jar, so I can have a bigger circumference for the 3 L jar and a smaller circumference for the 5 L in a way that I can collect the excessive water.
Ohh I got 4 of them right..
Expect the desert matchstick one...
So I've been expecting it for a while now.... when is it gonna happen?
Wait, wait wait... You can answer four of the five questions correctly, yet can't use correct spelling or grammar?
Troy Batterman not everyone is good at that different topic anyways!!
Hi Adarsh!!

5/5 easy questions just tricky and trying to find out common sense.
You must feel real special huh
Oh hello there

Hi
ShreK
At night it's cold in the desert so he tried to make a fire to make himself warm, he didn't succeed so he died. Plausible response, better than the parachute one, why would he jump voluntarily after all ?
Also the third question you can do it this way --> Fill the third litter one and pour the water in the five litter one, make the five litter one full then pour the water in the third one, you'll have 2 litters in the 5 litter jar. Empty the third jar and pour the 2 litters in the 3 litters jar which will leave the 5 litter jar empty. Fill the 5 litter jar and pour water until the third one is filled. It sounds simmilar idk :))
Except the last one I got them all.
3:00 There is another possibility as well. Fill the 3 liter and empty it into the five liter. Then fill the 3 liter and empty it in to the 5 liter again. 1 liter will remain in the 3 liter. Now empty the 5 liter and transfer the 1 liter from the 3 liter container to the 5 liter container. Finally, fill the 3 liter container and add it to the 1 liter already in the 5 liter container. 3+1=4
Is it was only me or somebody hear him again saying
I got them all except the desert guy
That one is just to test your thinking it doesn't really have an answer
same
TheGreenPianist no one got the desert guy
sevlikeshunting It’s actually freezing at night in some hot deserts as well.
So the language of the question is very important, which this video botched. The dead person is found in the desert with no tracks - meaning no vehicle tracks nor footsteps around the dead person. The only plausible explanation is he hit the ground falling from something flying overhead. The rest of the answer is speculation to match the limited information. This is a very old question as nobody on an airplane is going to have paper matches.
Im so early that I don't know what to say...
Wow Bux Yes you do!...What?...you have to if you just SAID that!

Wow Bux Haha! so I'm not dumb after all?!

Wow Bux Thank God! Lol, I usually get called dumb at school.
These were cool puzzles :) Thanks
Lastly, I find it hard to believe Google asks the weighing balls question or the measuring liters question as both of these are simplistic and ancient riddles many people might have memorized.
0/5 :(
nice
Same here, guess I have to try for a job at Microsoft.....
Me too ;-;
For the first one i would take any two balls and if they were equal and considering that only one is more heavy than the others i will try every other ball till i get the right one with one of the equal weighing balls
that would take 4 measurements which is not the most productive provided you measure in pairs, and 7 if you compare 7 each individually to one. the best solution of 2 also is good to test someone's process of elimination. the first measurement will eliminate at least 5/8'ths of the balls in the first measurement. Translated into code, this would be preferred vs testing them all in pairs when you consider this could be happening millions of times at once, therefore significantly reducing a good chunk of the time it takes to do something which leads to performance improvements overall.
I could answer only two of them within the given amount of time.
There’s another way to do #3
Fill up the 3 liter and pour into the 5. Fill up the three liter again and pour into 5 until full. Leaving 1 liter in the three. Then empty the 5 and pour the one liter that was in the 3 into five. Fill up the three and pour into 5 thus having 4 liters
I did the water riddle the opposite way. Fill the 3L and pour it into the 5L. Fill the 3L again and pour it into the 5L, leaving you with 1L in the 3L jar. Pour all of the water out of the 5L. Pour the 1L into the 5L bottle, fill the 3L bottle again and pour it into the 5L bottle, leaving you with 4L.
I got the 5 one
Me too
RE tHiNK ?
You're hired
RE tHiNK just the 5 th one
i too
1/5 CLUB. WHERE YOU AT?
0/5.. you guys are welcome too :)
Yeet
I got 2 and 1 right but 3,4and5 wrong
I found a different way to do question 3. You fill the 3L jar with water then pour it into the 5L jar, then you fill the 3 L jar again and pour it into the 5L jar until its full. Now you have 5L in the 5L jar and 1L in the 3L jar. Then you pour all the water out of the 5L jar and pour the 1L from the 3L jar into the 5L jar. After that, fill up the 3L jar with water and pour it into the 5L jar. 1L+3L=4L
Paused the video for the desert guy. Gave it a good long thought. Figured it was night, it was very cold, and he tried to start a fire. But since there was no wood, no leaves, nor anything to burn (because it's a desert), he had to use some of his clothes. That made him even colder when he undressed. It was windy and he never managed to get the fire going, because the match only grants you one try, and he blew it. He was very thirsty and his body had begun to collapse. The cold, the hunger, and specially the dehydration killed him. Boom, case closed... Then I watched the supposed 'answer' and was like: «He jumped of a plane, with no parachute, but somehow the match was still in his hand». And more importantly, how do you think his body would look like after falling from that height? That would be THE clue. One wouldn't even need to look at the match to establish a probable cause, I'd say. Thanks to the uploader, cheers!
on number 3 I would take
3l
put that into the 5l
take 3l again
poor that in the 5l jar till its full
empty the 5l jar
put the leftover water from the 3l jar into the 5l
fill the 3l jar again
then pour that in the 5l jar
BOOM
Just add 4 litres into the 5 litre jar
BOOM
THAT'S WHAT I DID TOO!
I did that too
i did the same
Um cant you fil up half 5l and half 3l Jar and just add them together?
its not my cup of tea.what abt u guyz??
if you ever feel dumb, just remember that someone with an tested IQ of 140 (me) only got 1 question right (the bear one) and maybe only because I already knew the answer
Just to make sure, you found out your IQ via an official, real life IQ test and not an online one, because there is this huge epidemic on the internet where seemingly everyone has an 140 IQ, despite it being an incredibly rare reading. I'm not saying I don't believe you though
I know what you mean, but it actually is was an "offical, real life IQ test". And it wasn't one were you just sit in a room for an hour and answer some math questions; it was a psychologist to which I went 10 times over the span of 2,5 months, each session being for 1,5 hours and we did all sorts of weird tests etc
Thanks for inspiring
r/iamverysmart
somehow I have about 5 or more friends with supposed iqs of over 140 who also happened to get tested by a professional psychologist. So I don't really trust iq tests anymore. Maybe the people that designed those tests made them too easy so that they could claim a high score themselves.
There is another way to solve riddle # 3. First Fill up the three liters and dump it into the 5L cup then refill the three liter and dump as much as you can into the 5L. You should have one liter left in the three litter cup. From there you dump out the full five liter cup and then you put the water from the three litter cup into the 5L cup. Fill up the three liter cup again and pour it into the 5L cup the one liter from before mixed with the three new liters equals four liters.
For number 3, my answer is different.
1st, fill the 3l container with water
then put it on 5l container
Then, fill the 3l container with water again then put it on 5l container until it is full
Then, you have 1l in 3l container so empty the 5l container
Then, put the 1l into the 5l container
After that, fill the 3l container
There you go, you have 4l
5. none because it says without useing weights edit; i didn`t understand the 1st question
4. you cant bring matches to plane
3. pur water in the 3L countar up to 3L then 1L in the 5L jar
2. white
1. in the morning take the top pills on the top of both hand then in the evening the the pills from both hands
It's all fake
Lol, in regards to the liter jar, if that bottle has a measuring scale then theres no effin other way out to get the exact 4 liter water content of that effin jar lol!!!... how could u know if the jar really has been reduced by a certain number of liters... like are u really thinking? It isnt that hard though!
well if you can't tell if it's full or empty, then perhaps you have some other hurdles to overcome first
No 4: He took the match with him when jumping to certain death and was holding it all the time while falling down. Totally believable.
For the pills question. You divide the pills into two pairs arranged in front of you loosely. In order, you trade #3 with #2 then trade the new #3 with #1. Then you trade #4 with #1 then trade the new #4 with #2. Both pairs will now have 1 of each of the 2 types of pills no matter what combinations were made when you randomly split them.
#3 you can also fill the 3 l jar pour it into the 5 l jar, fill the 3 l jar and again pour it into the 5 l jar. You'll have 1 l left in the small jar. Pour out the bigger jar and add 1 l from the smaller jar. Fill the small one again with 3 l and pour into the bigger jar to make 4 l.
On question 3, there are multiple options. You could fill the three liter, por it in the five liter, and then fill the three liter again, then por till the five liter is full. Pour out the 5 liters of water, and pour the rest of the three liters water, witch i one liter, then fill the three liter, and then pour it in to the five liter. There you have 4 liter
You can fill the 3l jar then fill it in the 5l jar then fill again the 3l jar and fill it in the 5l jar = the 3l jar has 1l then throw the water from 5l jar and fill the 1l from the 3l jar to the 5l jar. Fill the 3l jar to the 5l jar = 3+1 = 4
For the water one can’t you fill the 3 liter jar dumping all of it into the 5 leader one then fill the 3 litter jar again leaving you with 3 and 3 then you pour the 3 litter jar into the 5 making 5 and 1 ( it will overflow some) then you dump out all 5 liters then you pour in the remaining 1 litter into the 5 litter jar then you fill the 3 litter jar and pour all of it into the 5 lite jar which leaves you with 3+1 which is four litters
they are all tough questions ,but i feel proud to answer the last one
For desert question -
It can also be possible that guy was trying to survive in the shivering desert at night but couldn't ... And hold mathstick cz he tried it last night
For water 5,4,3 L question-
It can also be possible if we
1) first use 3L water pour it to 5 L and
2)then again use 3L water and pour it to 5 L thus remaining 1L in 3L flask
3) now throw 5L filled jar and then pour remaining 1L in 5L flask from 3L jar ...
4)Now again fill 3L jar and then add it to 5L flask thus making it to 4L (1L+ 3L)
I had the same answer for the water one
@@agoogleuser9104 to nachuun
You can also get 4 liters of water this way:
Fill the 3L jar and dump it into the 5L jar
Fill the 3L jar again and dump it into the 5L jar. It will leave 1L in the 3L jar.
Completely empty the 5L jar and dump the 1L from the 3L jar into the 5L jar.
Fill the 3L jar again and add it to the 1L in the 5L jar.
I did question 3 differently, I said take the 3L jar and fill it then pour it in to the 5L jar. now you have 3L out of 5L, and then fill the rest of the 5L jar with the 2L out of the 3L amount of water you have in the 3L jar to the 5L mark in the 5L jar, now you have 1L in the 3L jar.. so you pour out the water of the 5L jar because you have unlimited access to water then you pour the 1L in to the 5L and refill the 3L and pour that in the 5L and you end up with 4L.
Bright side can't here any thing after ‘Want to work at Google'
Rajshree Desai same
The water one you can fill up the 3L pour it into 5L do it again and you’ll have one left over in the 3L jar. Dump the 5L jar and then put the extra one into the 5L jar. Finally fill up the 3L jar and then add it to the extra one from earlier.
FYI, there are no parachutes on passenger planes. There are also not that many matches in a matchbook, but plenty of actual straws on a plane, to “draw the short straw”. And you find a body that fell out of a plane, and the only thing you notice is a match? Not a huge dent in the ground and the exploded remains of what was once a man?
They turned the sound off because if we knew those questions, we would get a job at google.
I had a different way. First full up the 3 liter then dump it into the 5 liter. Then fill the 3 liter again and dump all that you can into the 5 liter (2 liters). Now you have a full 5 liters in one jar and 1 liter in the 3 liter jar. Pour out the water from the 5 liter jar. Then pour the 1 liter from the 3 liter jar into the 5 liter jar. Then fill up the 3 liter jar and pour that into the 5 liter jar. Then you have 4 liters (1 liter + 3 liters).
I got a different answer for the jar question: Fill the 3 litre jar and pour it in the 5 litre jar; Re-do the process and you'll be left with the 5 litre jar full and the 3 litre jar with just 1 litre in it; Empty the 5 litre jar; Pour the remaining 1 litre in the 5 litre jar; Full the 3 litre jar and add it to the 5 litre jar that has 1 litre in it; 4 litre measured; Sound right?
fill the 3 liter up, pour it into the 5, fill the 3 liter up again and pour until the 5 is full, empty the 5 liter, transfer the 1 liter from the 3 to the 5 and then fill up the 3 and pour it into the 5
