I'm interested in a place where they have an aptitude assessment. According to the internet (people who interviewed before), they ask:
How many golf balls can fit in the room you are in, etc. (Volume = L x W x H; Spherical volume = (4/3) (Pi) r^3. Insert Variables. Account for curvature sphere overlap (two curved surfaces against one another packed tightly) and deduct for obstacles).

In a country that only wants boys, couples keep having babies until they have a boy and then stop. Having a girl will lead to another birth. What is the ratio of boys to girls.
Answer 50/50
Sexist of them, but still....
Assume 10 couples each having a baby, (50% gender probability) 5 girls, 5 boys. Half stop having babies. So far 10 children.
Those 5 couples having girls continue procreating. (50% gender probability) 2.5 girls, 2.5 boys. So far 15 children. 7.5 girls, 7.5 boys.
Those 2.5 couples having girls continue procreating. (50% gender probability) 1.75 girls, 1.75 boys. So far So far 17.5 children 8.75 girls, 8.75 boys.
Etc, etc, and so on, maintaining a 50/50 population.
Then they have a general technical knowledge section. I don't remember half that stuff because nobody uses it, even in this company. I can look up and memorize the present value of money formula but it's been years since I've applied it.
Slight groan. Plus, they say there is no room for salary negotiation and they pay low....
