Anyone want to try to solve some of the Google Interview Puzzles?
I think this could be a fun collaborative thing if a bunch of us got together and used some sort of collaboration service (Google Docs? Office Online? Wave?) to take these on. I'm particularly intrigued by:
How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle?
In a country in which people only want boys, every family continues to have children until they have a boy. If they have a girl, they have another child. If they have a boy, they stop. What is the proportion of boys to girls in the country?
I tortured Syed with this one:
A man pushed his car to a hotel and lost his fortune. What happened?
You're the captain of a pirate ship, and your crew gets to vote on how the gold is divided up. If fewer than half of the pirates agree with you, you die. How do you recommend apportioning the gold in such a way that you get a good share of the booty, but still survive?
Sound fun? Give me a shout if you want to play with some questions. I'll set up a collab doc and invite in some people.
