I make everyone I interview solve this math problem. And if they can't, I won't hire them

But its only one boot. Not two boots on the final equation. Ya derr derr

 

[JQ Legend]

The answer is 21

1 + 10 x 2 = 21

 

[Chrishaune]

That was easy.......

But I'm about to retire fam.....

Shoe is 2

horse is 10

horseshoe is 4

Half of a horseshoe breh. Look again

 

[GoFlipAPack]

22

 

[Amsterdayumn]

21
For those in the 40s pay attention to how many boots and horseshoes there are

There's only 1 boot and 1 horseshoe at the bottom as opposed to 2 at the top equations

The Answer is Google Search.


Nah but for real I did this in my head.

Boy I'm stupid as hell, reading these comments like wtf they talking about. I was like how the hell they got 21, let me watch this video and now I see they went from double to single

Crazy thing is I might've seen this years ago and made the exact same mistake

I got 48 at first then I got 42 coz you are supposed to multiply first and then 21 in the end coz I didn’t look at the pictures properly.

You're the time that holds up meetings asking questions about shyt that don't got nothing to do with the objective just to look like you're engaged. We talking about putting together a power point presentation, and you turn around and ask dumb ass questions about how much memory we would need for usb drives "just in case" and scandisk is the best brand to use.

Sandisk btw

You the type to brag about making intelligent hiring decisions based off algebra and not know the question is inherently flawed in concept.


Keep hiring people that are intelligent enough to solve the problem as if it makes sense but not intelligent enough to realize it doesn’t

I love these math threads



The sad thing is, we'll criticize kids in schools and their math rates but still get questions like these incorrect.

 

[JackRoss]

This shyt is racist

 

[Silver Surfer]

I don't hit HR recruiters but........

You catching a fade for this silly shyt.

Why?

Did this simple logic problem give you trouble?

 

[Lord-Yosh]

A nikka called this a trick question that has to be the funniest reply in here

 

[MajesticLion]

The fact that this is a reading comprehension problem as much as it's a math problem escaped far too many people.
