For myself, I choked on the following:

- "Why do you want to work for us?"
- "Why us, specifically?"
- That stupid logic test with the guys wearing the red and white caps
- "Convince us how you're not overqualified. We're simple people."
- "Convince us how you're not going to leave us in the long run."
- Stupid db test: here is a scenario. You have 15 minutes to write an entire relational db with 20 tables, keys, relationships..
- "Why would we want to hire you?"

1. I want money.
2. You offer money.
4. Why would I apply to a position I'm clearly surpassing? I fit the requirements for the role I applied to.
5. If you pay me enough money in the long run, I won't leave for a competitor.
7. Because I want to deliver the work you are looking for in exchange for money.

That would be no-bullshit answers but it seems in the business bubble, those are considered rude.

I like to irritate people by representing hats, hats in line and hats leaving the room as Boolean satisfiability problems.

@SortOfTested A hundred prisoners are each locked in a room with three pirates, one of whom will walk the plank in the morning. Each prisoner has 10 bottles of wine, one of which has been poisoned; and each pirate has 12 coins, one of which is counterfeit and weighs either more or less than a genuine coin.

In the room is a single switch, which the prisoner may either leave as it is, or flip. Before being led into the rooms, the prisoners are all made to wear either a red hat or a blue hat; they can see all the other prisoners' hats, but not their own.

@SortOfTested Meanwhile, a six-digit prime number of monkeys multiply until their digits reverse, then all have to get across a river using a canoe that can hold at most two monkeys at a time. But half the monkeys always lie and the other half always tell the truth.

Given that the Nth prisoner knows that one of the monkeys doesn't know that a pirate doesn't know the product of two numbers between 1 and 100 without knowing that the N+1th prisoner has flipped the switch in his room or not after having determined which bottle of wine was poisoned and what colour his hat is, what is the solution to this puzzle?

@Fast-Nop
All the bottles are poisoned, because they were supplied by sicilians, the pirates are half monkeys, half the monkeys are pirates and factorial N/P where n are monkeys and p are pirates will always be an irrational number, therefore the canoe is actually a tardis. The switch is a red herring as it is always in a superposition of itself and can be ignored. Given that, the hats are all snozberries and the solution is to use the ATM which is actually a time machine to go back in time and kill Hitler with the wine, which we have established is all poison.

Seriously, what's up with these softballs?
