Answering Behavioral Interview Questions The Right Way
I’m Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter and I want to talk with you today about one of those wonderful hedge fund brain teaser questions that just leave people scratching their heads. So, here’s the question. Here’s the situation.
How many quarters would it take to stack these quarters from floor to ceiling? Now, believe it or not, there is a logic to this question. I’m not going to get into it right now. I’ll just simply say you walk them through your thinking and you say to them, well, my best guesstimate is floor to ceiling is about 10 feet now and then from there, it’s about 12 quarters to an inch.
So, you basically said it would take 144 quarters. Let me just make sure I’ve got this right. Let’s say 12 quarters times 12 inches times 10 feet is approximately 1,440 quarters.
So, again, you’re walking them through it. 12 quarters to an inch, 12 inches to a foot times 10 feet and you have 1,440 quarters. The idea is about the reasoning process.
Some people will freeze at a question like this and the idea is they want to see how you reason things through. So, this is Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter. I hope you found this video helpful.
