Actual Wall Street (trader) Interview questions

enn_doubleu1. Two of the men wear a condom apiece, while having sex with the woman. The other man jacks off watching from the corner of the room.

Like that.

ScorpionI got the solution to #1 while talking with a friend over dinner...dunno what that means for me >.>

First question I had was how broadly we were defining heterosexual sex here, but I figured that got way more behavioral than the interviewer would be looking for...so assuming each man just has penile-vaginal intercourse with the woman, here's the solution, assuming no leakage and Latex erosion, and assuming condoms are handled gingerly to prevent hand-to-hand infection somehow (basically all of the crazy scenarios are out):

Guy #1: Doublebags it with two condoms. Finishes. Takes off the outside condom and passes it to Guy #2. Guy #2: The outside is potentially contaminated with the woman's STD's, but the inside is completely safe. Uses only the outside one, same orientation. Finishes. Passes it to Guy #3. Guy #3: The outside and inside of the outside condom is infected, potentially. The only solution left is to take Guy #1's inside condom, turn it inside out, and thus place this inside condom inside of the outside one, and finishes. All sides of the condoms are now infected, but all participants are satiated.

1. Yes, that's the answer.

If you want to detail, you can say: Ignoring air resistance,

We need to know how high Empire State is. From memory, about 100 floors/ each fl. about 4 meters high- so that's 400 meters high.

Using the simple equation of motion, v^2 = u^2 + 2gD, where v=final velocity, u=initial (zero), D = distance = 400 m, g (gravity)=9.8 m/s^2 ~ approx 10 m/s^2

v^2= 210400 = 8000 m^2/s^2, v= approx. 90 m/s

v= u + g*t, so t ~ 9 s.
