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

Technically those are new variables that aren’t specified.

It would be incorrect to assume that there’s a link between 1 boots and 2 boots, for example. They could be two different variables that just happen to look similar.

Facts. Upper case and lower case of the same letter are used as different variables all the time.

This is one of those goofy gotcha problems for people to argue about. If you're so smart go do some real problems or code/ simulate something. Instead gonna brag on some cowboy algebra

Cause of all the single ass hoes shoes and single boots


But I hate when irrelevant questions are asked that have nothing to do with the job at hand. Its the same things that's putting people through numerous useless courses and at the end of the day still have to learn on the job.

this one woman was desperate to get hire. She was nervous the whole interview and was saying how she would give 1000% and could start immediately. I told her I had a few more interviews and she said I should hire her.

I broke out this problem and told her I would hire her if she solved it in under 30 seconds.

she looked at it for about 10 seconds and tried to figure it out. Then she gave me this sad look, thanked me for interviewing her, got up and walked out

because you didn’t adjust your posts per page setting to 50. If you did, this thread would only be 7 pages
