Interesting Questions

---------------------------------
Recently Procter & Gamble India had participated in
IIM-Bangalore's Placement
Sessions. They asked some interesting questions to
students during recruitment.
Here are some of them:-
*********************************
1. There is one word in the English language that is
alway pronounced
incorrectly. What is it?
2. A man gave one son 10 cents and another son
was given 15 cents. What time is it?
3. A boat has a ladder that has six rungs, each rung
is one foot apart. The
bottom rung is one foot from the water. The tide rises
at 12 inches every
15 minutes. High tide peaks in one hour. When the tide
is at it's highest,
how
many rungs are under water?
4. There is a house with four walls. Each wall faces
south. There is a
window in each wall. A bear walks by one of the
windows. What color is the
bear?
5. Is half of two plus two equal to two or three?
6. There is a room. The shutters are blowing in. There
is broken glass on
the floor. There is water on the floor. You find
Sloppy dead on the floor.
Who is Sloppy? How did Sloppy die?
7. How much dirt would be in a hole 6 feet deep and 6
feet wide that has
been dug with a square edged shovel?
8. If I were in Hawaii and dropped a bowling ball in a
bucket of water
which is 45 degrees F, and dropped another ball of the
same weight, mass, and
size in a bucket at 30 degrees F, both of them at the
same time, which ball
would hit the bottom of the bucket first? Same
question, but the location
is in
Canada?
9. What is the significance of the following: The year
is 1978, thirty-four
minutes past noon on May 6th.
10. If a farmer has 5 haystacks in one field and 4
haystacks in the other
field, how many haystacks would he have if he combined
them all in the
center field?
11. What is it that goes up and goes down but does not

1. The word "incorrectly."
2. 1:45. The man gave away a total of 25 cents. He
divided it between two
people. Therefore, he gave a quarter to two.
3. None, the boat rises with the tide. Googly ;-)
4. White. If all the walls face south, the house is at
the North pole, and
the bear, therefore, is a polar bear.
5. Three. Well, it seems that it could almost be
either, but if you follow
the mathematical orders of operation, division is
performed before
addition.
So... half of two is one. Then add two, and the answer
is three.
6. Sloppy is a (gold)fish. The wind blew the shutters
in, which knocked his
goldfish-bowl off the table, and it broke, killing
him.
7. None. No matter how big a hole is, it's still a
hole: the absence of
dirt.
8. Both questions, same answer: the ball in the bucket
of 45 degree F water
hits the bottom of the bucket last. Did you think that
the water in the 30
degree F bucket is frozen? Think again. The question
said nothing about
that bucket having anything in it. Therefore, there is
no water (or ice) to
slow
the ball down...
9. The time and month/date/year American style
calendar are 12:34, 5/6/78.
10. One. If he combines all of his haystacks, they all
become one big
stack.
11. The temperature.
