An Article about some of the weird questions asked in some job interviews.

I especially like “What is the philosophy of martial arts?” —Aflac

Like there is only one "Martial art".

You just know if I asked which one, they would say Kung Fu.,,,,with David Carradine.

The ability to deal with a conflicting spouse? Oh wait, that's marital arts.

“What is the philosophy of martial arts?”
Hit Last

“How many basketballs can you fit in this room?”
How many do you have?

“If you had 5,623 participants in a tournament, how many games would need to be played to determine the winner?”
One, it'd be a deathmatch

“If you had 5,623 participants in a tournament, how many games would need to be played to determine the winner?”
One, it'd be a deathmatch

I think that answer might invoke a response of "if we hire you, we might want to have a taser handy..."

If my theory is correct? 5,622...?
As in, you have to pair up everybody, until you're down to just the two people vying for the win, so, one emerges as the winner, but everyone else ends up gone... I guess it depends on how you set up the tournament...?

“If you were shrunk to the size of a pencil and put in a blender, how would you get out?”

I'm guessing the answer to that would be "most likely through a soda straw, I imagine."


Best one I ever personally got was "So....a lot of cussin' bother you?"

"I had a job interview at an insurance company once and the lady said "Where do you see yourself in five years?" and i said "Celebrating the fifth year anniversary of you asking me this question" - Mitch Hedberg

If you count each individual match as a game, there'd be lots, in the first 2 rounds (pair everyone up, then pair the winners of that up) 5620 games in all, including keeping the odd ones out to the side and matching them up with later odd ones out

(So yeah, your theory might be closer than my calculations)

If you counted every level of pairing as a game it'd be 12.5 -13 (but thenumbers dont really add up, because not all the results divide cleanly between 8)

Admittedly, I'm not too good with math.

I actually got asked the superhero one, well they asked what superpower I'd want. This was for Greenpeace, I didn't end up with the job though. They wouldn't let me say flying either. haha
