Why do you think it failed, what knowledge did you gain, and how have you used it? o What, to you, is the most important element in a successful venture? Consulting: o See strengths and weaknesses questions. If none of the above are relevant, use brainteasers: o A car travels a distance of 60 miles at an average speed of 30 mph. How fast would the car have to travel the same 60 mile distance home to average 60 mph over the entire trip?  Trick question: it is impossible.  To average 60 mph for 120 miles of travel, the trip would be 2 hours long. You already took 2 hours for the first 60 miles. It is impossible. o Three envelopes are presented in front of you by an interviewer. One contains a job offer, the other two contain rejection letters. You pick one of the envelopes. The interviewer then shows you the contents of one of the other envelopes, which is a rejection letter. The interviewer now gives you the opportunity to switch envelope choices. Should you switch?  Yes. You originally had 1/3 chance of getting the job. Knowing the interviewer picked a certain envelope has no impact on your original envelope’s probability. Know, however, the third envelope has a 2/3 chance of being a job offer. You always switch.

What is the sum of numbers from 1 to 100?  5050. 1+2+3+…+98+99+10 is just 50 pairs that sum to 101. So, the sum is 50(101)=5050. What is the angle between the hour-hand and minute-hand of a clock at 3:15?  At quarter past the hour, the minute-hand is exactly at 3:00 but the hour-hand has moved 1/4 of the way between 3:00 and 4:00. Therefore 1/4 times 1/12 = 1/48 of the clock. With the clock having 360 degrees, 360/48 = 7.5 degrees. You are given a 3-gallon jug and a 5-gallon jug. How do you use them to get 4 gallons of liquid?  Fill the 5 gallon jug. Pour the contents into the 3 gallon jug. 2 gallons will remain in the 5 gallon jug. Pour these 2 gallons into the 3 gallon jug. Then, fill the 5 gallon jug and fill the 3 gallon jug. Only 1 gallon will go into the 3 gallon jug, so the 5 gallon jug will have 4 gallons of water.

Overall Conduct and Demeanor During Interview: ● Was the rushee on time? ● Did the rushee bring 4 copies of the resume? ● Did the rushee ask thoughtful questions about DSP?
