Nervous about Brain Teasers
I've been studying online for upcoming interviews and have seen some people say that they were asked different brain teasers. I know the different financial statements, how $10 depreciation would affect them, walk me through a DCF, pitch me a stock, etc., but I doubt I would be able to figure out how many windows were in an office building, or something of that nature, if I was on the spot in an interview without a pen and paper. Would I get dinged for not being able to answer these sorts of questions?
No one can say for sure- depends on who is asking you those questions, what kind of day they were having, how other people answered them.
I will say that brain teasers like you describe are not really that hard with the right mindset. They are just about having a structured thought process, not about a correct answer. How many windows in an office building? Lets say a wall on the building is 200 ft wide. A 5 ft wide window every 5 feet. So 20 windows per wall. 4 walls per floor. So 80 per floor. 50 floors for an average skyscraper, so 4000 windows per skyscraper. Might be way off vs reality. Maybe there's even a math error, But easy to follow and hard to complain about.
