Job Interview Logic Puzzles

Job Interview Logic Puzzles


Job seekers encounter challenging logic and math puzzles in interviews at high-tech companies. Innovative companies such as Google, LinkedIn, Yahoo, and Microsoft use these types of questions to identify the most intelligent candidates. Microsoft is considered as a pioneer in the interview logic questions. The trend was initially based on Bill Gates’ obsession with puzzles, Fermi problems, and brainteasers. Fermi was known for his ability to make good approximate calculations with little or no actual data.
