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

Shoe is 2

horse is 10

horseshoe is 4

so 48

Came up with 48

Let this be a lesson. If you all work in HR or are in charge of staffing.... this is why something so simply can be highly affective.

42. I think you supposed to multiply first then add. Just give me the job nikka, I’m just gonna use google to figure out how to do everything anyway

and if they take too long, I still won't hire them.

I’d follow you to your car after the interview and I bet you wouldn’t have the balls to ask me this question outside the safety of your office

 

[ScoopNScore]

What if they answer too fast i.e. they seen it before? Would it make the question null and void?

 

[UberEatsDriver]

I got 42

I get it, but do you take into consideration someone being nervous? Might take them a couple minutes. It took me less than a minute but I’m not being interviewed right now.

Shine boots, sell horse to glue factory, no need for shoes, profit $$$

Explain why you used affective vs effective? I’m not saying you’re wrong but I’m conflicted.

I make them solve it at the end of the interview.

I sit there watching them and when I see them put the wrong answer, in my head I just look them in the eye and be like

"i'll call you"

 

[Sinnerman]

I'd walk out of the interview if I was asked that

Horse is 10
Two of the shoe is 4
Two boots is 2

multiply the 10 by the one shoe(2) +one of the boots(1)
