140 Google Interview Questions
This is a re-post article taken from blog.Seattleinterviewcoach.com by Lewis Lin about the Google interview Questions. I re-posted this article because I think you all should know that some weird questions (e.g: how many golf balls can fit the school bus) do exists in a job interview -even at Google.
Google Interview Questions: Product Marketing Manager
* Why do you want to join Google?
* What do you know about Google’s product and technology?
* If you are Product Manager for Google’s Adwords, how do you plan to market this?
* What would you say during an AdWords or AdSense product seminar?
* Who are Google competitors, and how does Google compete with them?
* Have you ever used Google’s products? Gmail?
* What’s a creative way of marketing Google’s brand name and product?
* If you are the product marketing manager for Google’s Gmail product, how do you plan to market it so as to achieve 100 million customers in 6 months?
Google Interview Questions: Product Manager
* How would you boost the GMail subscription base?
* What is the most efficient way to sort a million integers?
* How would you re-position Google’s offerings to counteract competitive threats from Microsoft?
* How many golf balls can fit in a school bus?
* You are shrunk to the height of a nickel and your mass is proportionally reduced so as to maintain your original density. You are then thrown into an empty glass blender. The blades will start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?
* How much should you charge to wash all the windows in Seattle?
* How would you find out if a machine’s stack grows up or down in memory?
* Explain a database in three sentences to your eight-year-old nephew.
* How many times a day does a clock’s hands overlap?
* You have to get from point A to point B. You don’t know if you can get there. What would you do?
* Imagine you have a closet full of shirts. It’s very hard to find a shirt. So what can you do to organize your shirts for easy retrieval?
* Every man in a village of 100 married couples has cheated on his wife. Every wife in the village instantly knows when a man other than her husband has cheated, but does not know when her own husband has. The village has a law that does not allow for adultery. Any wife who can prove that her husband is unfaithful must kill him that very day. The women of the village would never disobey this law. One day, the queen of the village visits and announces that at least one husband has been unfaithful. What happens?
* In a country in which people only want boys, every family continues to have children until they have a boy. If they have a girl, they have another child. If they have a boy, they stop. What is the proportion of boys to girls in the country?
* If the probability of observing a car in 30 minutes on a highway is 0.95, what is the probability of observing a car in 10 minutes (assuming constant default probability)?
* If you look at a clock and the time is 3:15, what is the angle between the hour and the minute hands? (The answer to this is not zero!)
* Four people need to cross a rickety rope bridge to get back to their camp at night. Unfortunately, they only have one flashlight and it only has enough light left for seventeen minutes. The bridge is too dangerous to cross without a flashlight, and it’s only strong enough to support two people at any given time. Each of the campers walks at a different speed. One can cross the bridge in 1 minute, another in 2 minutes, the third in 5 minutes, and the slow poke takes 10 minutes to cross. How do the campers make it across in 17 minutes?
* You are at a party with a friend and 10 people are present including you and the friend. your friend makes you a wager that for every person you find that has the same birthday as you, you get $1; for every person he finds that does not have the same birthday as you, he gets $2. would you accept the wager?
* How many piano tuners are there in the entire world?
* You have eight balls all of the same size. 7 of them weigh the same, and one of them weighs slightly more. How can you find the ball that is heavier by using a balance and only two weighings?
* You have five pirates, ranked from 5 to 1 in descending order. The top pirate has the right to propose how 100 gold coins should be divided among them. But the others get to vote on his plan, and if fewer than half agree with him, he gets killed. How should he allocate the gold in order to maximize his share but live to enjoy it? (Hint: One pirate ends up with 98 percent of the gold.)
* You are given 2 eggs. You have access to a 100-story building. Eggs can be very hard or very fragile means it may break if dropped from the first floor or may not even break if dropped from 100th floor. Both eggs are identical. You need to figure out the highest floor of a 100-story building an egg can be dropped without breaking. The question is how many drops you need to make. You are allowed to break 2 eggs in the process.
* Describe a technical problem you had and how you solved it.
* How would you design a simple search engine?
* Design an evacuation plan for San Francisco.
* There’s a latency problem in South Africa. Diagnose it.
* What are three long term challenges facing google?

Between A Realist and A Real Dreamer
I believe all people in this world only have two ways of life.
1. The first way is to be someone who is realistic with all their decision. This way of life will give you a safe way to live; no deep scar on your heart and no glorious joy whatsoever.
2. The second one is to be someone who always pursue what they want ignoring whether it is possible or impossible. Just simply follow your heart and follow your ego. As a result, there are possibilities to feel insanely down or vice versa.
Cool your head, drink a glass of water, and think clearly which way of life do you choose. By defining this, you are a step further on knowing who you really are. Realistic people who love to act within his range of competency will feel good if they can measure what are they capable of. On the other hand, the person who always follow his heart will feel satisfied everytime he takes risk. So in what condition that defining whether you are a follower of your dream or someone who realistic can make you a better person?
I should say: in any condition that needed you to make decision. Why? It’s because everytime you make decision, you are being tested that are you someone who really know about yourself or not? If you really know about yourself, then you must be seldom to regret what you’ve decided. And this will lead to a happy life without looking back to your past.
Finally…
Finally… I am writing my blog again! It’s been a long long time ago that I wrote on this blog. Well, lots of things happened during my absence. There were my ups and downs on romance, education, career, friendship, and family. There was a time when I felt quarter-life crisis. And there was the time when I felt that I could climb all the mountains of life in this world. In short, lots and lots of things happened and stupidly, I didn’t write that so I could barely remember those feelings now.
Today is already October, and I haven’t succeed any of my resolutions this year. I guess time goes as fast as bullet train, once you’ve missed the train, there’s no other way you could be on time.
Larry Page’s Commencement Speech at Michigan University
Larry Page, the Google co-founder, was giving a commencement speech at Michigan University. He shared his story about google and his family. This is the words that we all should remember from him:
Overall, I know it seems like the world is crumbling out there, but it is actually a great time in your life to get a little crazy, follow your curiosity, and be ambitious about it. Don’t give up on your dreams. The world needs you all!

Few Photographs while I was visiting MIT
one of the awesome building at MIT
The other angle of the awesome building at MIT
me on the center
me at the center of another awesome building at MIT
I've walked the hallway here...
there's cafeteria inside
this is the awesome spot to look at
and I peeked at this lecturer's room
These photographs were taken when I was attending the Harvard Project for Asian and International Relations (HPAIR) 2009 at Harvard university on March 2009. After attending the conference, I still had few days left and I decided to go around Massachussets Institute of Technology (MIT) and you guys could see some of the pictures I could get there. I actually sneaked into one of those classess, but I couldn’t take any picture inside because my camera would’t work without flash (and it’s impossible to take a photograph without making a scene) so I didn’t take any picture while I was in the class at MIT.
Does anyone know how to apply for a scholarship at MIT? please tell me… I desperately need it..
