140 вопросов на собеседовании в Google

Дела у Google пошли наверно лучше так как они набирают новый персонал ) Кроме информацию которую нужно предоставить в письменном виде: какой университет заканчивали, какие оценки были в университете, взгляды на мир ), нужно еще и пройти не простое собеседование. Вот несколько вопросов, которые собрал и подготовил Льюис Пин (Lewis Pin) тренер ищущих работу (coaching job seekers):

- Four people need to cross a rickety rope bridge to get back to their camp at night. Unfortunately, they only have one flashlight and it only has enough light left for seventeen minutes. The bridge is too dangerous to cross without a flashlight, and it's only strong enough to support two people at any given time. Each of the campers walks at a different speed. One can cross the bridge in 1 minute, another in 2 minutes, the third in 5 minutes, and the slow poke takes 10 minutes to cross. How do the campers make it across in 17 minutes?

- How many piano tuners are there in the entire world?

What must you write on the card, besides the question, to ensure Bob can encode the message so that Eve cannot read your phone number?
