That's awesome lol

Again, my question is not so much about whether they can get the correct answer, rather how they react to it.

Most would get startled and try to give a quick answer as fast as they could, and would result in the wrong answer.

Some would get startled, regroup and give the correct answer.

Either way, it would be interesting how the rest of the interview would go. It would either get them more relaxed or more uptight.

Anyone can answer your typical scenario bs questions; at the end of the day, you don't really know if it's a genuine answer or not -- are they just trying to give "the best answer" -- which in most cases, is the case. But! that reaction is genuine and can't be faked. (it's important to keep a straight face throughout)

I'm still pretty sure that Twenty-One Pilots is some sort of big joke that is being played on them that everyone is in on except them. Like they make god awful music, everybody pretends to like it and make them super popular, and there's some sort of Carrie-style blood pouring on them at a live concert someday where everyone reveals the gag.

Are you literally asking things as simple as 8x7? I don't see how anyone would give the wrong answer to that unless you're interviewing for a field that has absolutely no need for math. I mean, I like the idea because if anyone gets it wrong then I can just dq them from the job, but how is it possible to get it wrong or take much time if the job involves math at all?

And now assume the hooker is alive? Does your answer change?

literally 7x8 and yes, a lot of wrong answers. I ask it in the middle of the interview, just as they think they're answering all of the softball questions well; I ask it immediately after they answer the previous question. And straight face is important. (get a lot of looks, like "seriously? why are you doing this to me now???")

I'm not interviewing math majors, but still relatively smart people who would normally know the answer. (most are college graduates)

I also think there is some value in asking the BS questions. I work in consulting, so being able to BS your way through a conversation is important

Chad,

Don't be a reactionary drunkard. If you're serious, sit down and map out how this will work. Be prepared for it to take 5+ years of very hard work.

Nothing good has ever come of "**** those guys" action. But if you have a real vision and desire that comes from you, and not as a reaction to them, it'll be a very fruitful journey regardless of success.

agree, it is important. But if you're hiring someone to work alongside for an extended period of time, you want a little more insight into the persons character than what the typical questions provide.

Drake is 'rap' for people who also like Britney Spears and want some hood cred

I don't listen to the radio and easily recognize half of those songs, and would probably recognize even more if I heard them. Do you people ever leave your house?

When 21 pilots play 20+ minute long jams, do they prefer to stay in mixolydian mode the whole time, or will they alternate dorian and lydian based on melody layering and time signature?

Drake is not a rapper. He's a bubble gum pop star. When Drake has to wear a bullet proof vest where ever he goes, let me know.
