Oddball Interview Questions

Glassdoor.com has released their list of the top 25 oddball interview questions from 2009.

Thousands of individuals submit the questions they were asked during the interview process and Glassdoor narrows down to the most "oddball" of the bunch. Here were some of my favorites:

- What was your best McGuyver moment? (Schlumberger)

- If you were a brick in a wall which brick would you be and why? (Nestle)

- What should it cost to rent Central Park for commercial purposes? (Bain & C0)

- If I put you in a sealed room with a phone that had no dial tone, how would you fix it? (Apple)

- How would you measure 9 minutes using only a 4 minute and 7 minute hourglass? (Bank of America)

- How would you sell me eggnog in Florida in the summer? (Expedia)

- If you saw someone steal a quarter. Would you report it? (Amazon)
