"If you were shrunk to the size of a pencil and put in a blender how would you get out"?
This was in Readers Digest as one of the 25 toughest interview questions of 2010, asked by an analyst at Goldman Sachs.
How would you have answered?
My answer would have been, hands on one side of jar, feet on the other side crawl up and out.
Interview question..

Re: Interview question..
Hmm, depends on the blender. Many I guess you could just jump up and pull yourself out but why not wait until some margarita mix is added and float on out as it is poured in... lol

I have heard some of these "interview" questions they're asking these days.... I hope I don't get fired from my current job, I would never get rehired in corporate, I'm sure. Unless of course, the interviewer uses common sense.

Re: Interview question..
I thought it was a weird question to be asking. Not sure what information can be learned from it. But I hope I don't have to answer interview questions like that either. I would probably look at the person like they were just crazy.
E sounds like your having a whirl of a good time in the blender

Since it is a stupid question,
IMO I would give a stupid answer like, I would draw a hole in the side of the blender with a magic marker and crawl out.
