Here are some interview puzzle questions which are quite interesting and brilliant. It definitely shows the "Out of Box Thinking" of the person being interviewed. I am separating the answers of the candidates who got selected from questions and putting them at the end to give time to you to think upon the answers in case these questions are being asked of you.
Unexpected Interview Puzzle Question
"What will you do if I run away with your sister?"
This is quite an unexpected question being asked in an interview. Think about how will you answer this question?
Interview Puzzle Question for girl student
Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) - What if one morning you woke up and found that you were pregnant?
Again very weird question asked from an unmarried student-girl candidate.
Out-of-Box Thinking Interview Puzzle Question
Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee, arrived and was kept before the candidate, then he asked: "What is before you?"
Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea" and got selected. Think Why?
Most people will immediately answer coffee but one needs to think out of the box to justify a different answer.
Lateral Thinking Interview Puzzle Question
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it's raining heavily when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
An old friend who once saved your life.
The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?
This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
* You could pick up the old lady because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; * or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. *
However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again...
The Last Interview Puzzle Question
The interviewer asked the candidate "This is your last question of the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the center of this table where u have kept your files."
What will you answer if such a question is asked to you?
Indian Mythological Interview Puzzle Question with Answer
Where Lord Rama would have celebrated his "First Diwali"?
People will start thinking of Ayodhya, Mithila [Janaki's place], Lanka, etc...
But the logic is, Diwali was celebrated as a mark of Lord Krishna Killing Narakasura. In Dusavataar, Krishnavathaar comes after Raamavathaar.
So, Lord Rama would not have celebrated Diwali At all!
This is what Interviewer expects from the Interviewee...
"THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX and try to answer these puzzle questions yourself. There is no fixed answer to these questions but the way of thinking to answer these questions.
