Many users of the bitten apple have ever crossed their minds work for apple, even if it is in a utopian thought. As in any large company, in Apple there are a lot of jobs available and among these there are from those who attend us in any physical Apple Store to Software engineers. I do not know what kind of questionnaire a person who is going to sell devices in a store is asked to fill out, if they ask for it, but for important positions they do. questions can be most surprising.
These questions have been given to you Glassdoor a Business Insider y yo las he leído en el blog de habla inglesa Cult of Mac. Me ha parecido tan curioso que yo también me he querido hacer eco en Actualidad iPhone. Yo os reto a que respondáis a alguna de las preguntas, pero siempre os quedará la duda de si habéis acertado o no, puesto que las respuestas no han sido publicadas. Os dejo con las preguntas.
- «If you have two eggs and you want to know which is the highest floor from which you could drop them without breaking, how would you do it? What is the optimal solution? Question for a Software Engineer candidate.
- "How many children are born each day?" Ask for Global Supply Manager.
- «You have 100 coins lying on a table, each of the coins with heads and tails (that's how they say in Spain on both sides of the coin). 10 of them are with the Face up and 90 of them are with the Cross up. You cannot feel, see or know in any other way which ones are facing up. Separate the coins into two piles so that there are the same number of Faces in each pile. For Software Engineer.
- “There are three boxes, one containing only apples, one containing only oranges, and one containing both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled, so no label identifies the actual contents of the box. Opening only one box and without looking into it, he picks up a piece of fruit. Looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all the boxes correctly? For Software Quality Control Engineer.
- "What would the cost breakdown of this pen look like?" Global Supply Manager.
- "You are elegant?". For Construction Engineer.
- “You put a glass of water on a turntable and you start to slowly increase the speed. What is the first thing that will happen: the glass will slide, it will tip or the water will come out? For Mechanical Engineer.
- "What is more important: fix the user problem or create a good customer experience?" For Counselor at Apple At Home.
- "If they give you a jug with a mixture of legal and fake coins, you take one out, flip it three times and you get the sequence 'Heads, Heads, Tails', what are the chances that you will get a legal or a fake?" . Analyst.
- "How would you test a toaster?" For Quality Control Engineer.
I have some theories, but I better not say them. What do you say? Do you have any answer?
questions to see the degree of down syndrome right? buahh!
what a lack of respect for those who suffer from this disease ... or you are a child with immaturity or you have a very serious problem ...
Do not waste time paying attention to these types of people, they are closed-minded and without a hint of talent at all. Greetings.
Hahahahaha it's funnier that your little brain has only picked up silly questions are the background they have. Wow you should take him to a moron contest to see him lose to an asshole! Eminence in stupidity this guy hahahaha I congratulate you aquarophysics!

The one with the eggs: The optimal solution will be the one in which you achieve it with the fewest possible attempts. What happens is that it will depend on the number of floors that the building has. And the example of eggs seems quite absurd to me, since an egg will not withstand a height of 1 plant in almost any case. They had to raise it with another type of object, which can hold more floors, and raise the number of floors that the building has, as this will mark the strategy to follow. If we assume a 20-story building, for example, the solution would be….
Throw the egg from the 6th floor the first time. If it breaks, you start from 1 to 5 (so you don't run out of eggs). If it doesn't break, we go to the 11th floor, and if it breaks, start from 7 to 10… If it doesn't break on 11, it will be pulled from 15….
1st case: If it breaks in 6, at most we would have 1 (the egg of 6 broken) 2 (the egg of 1 that does not break) 3 (the egg of 2 that does not break) 4 (the egg of the 3 that does not break) 5 (the egg of the 4 that does not break 6 (the egg of the 5 breaks to or not). So if it breaks on the 6th floor, at most we would have to throw the egg 6 times.
2nd case: It does not break in 6 and if in 11. We would have 1 (It does not break in 6) 2 (It breaks in 11) 3 (It does not break in 7) 4 (It does not break in 8 ) 5 (does not break at 9) 6 (does not break or breaks at 10). In this case also, a maximum of 6 eggs.
3rd case: It does not break in 6 or 11, but if in 15. We would have 1 (It does not break in 6) 2 (It does not break in 11) 3 (It breaks in 15) 4 (no breaks at 12) 5 (does not break at 13) 6 (breaks or not at 14). Again 6 cases maximum to determine the first floor where it breaks.
4th case: It does not break on 6,11 or 15, but it does on 18. In this case we would have (1-2-3 does not break on 6,11,15) 4 (it breaks on 18) 5 (It does not break on 16 6 (It breaks or not on 17) Again the same 6 shots at most.
The last case is that it does not break in 18 either, then we would only have 19 and 20. If in 18 we have thrown it 4 times (6,11,15,18), we have a maximum of 2 rolls to reach the 20, so at most 6.
The formula to calculate the first floor to launch would be n * (n + 1) / 2 = number of building floors.
The first launch will be made at the plant n
The second launch if it is not broken will be made on the 2n-1 floor
The third launch (if it is not broken) will be made on the 3n-2 floor ...
In case it breaks, from the top floor to the one that did not break (that we know of), we go up from floor to floor.
This is valid for 2 eggs, of course. If there were only 1 egg, there would always be a yes or yes to start from the bottom floor.
And if there were infinite eggs, then it would always be done by shooting the first launch from the middle of the building and always going to the middle of the area to be delimited. Greetings.
Your answer is fine if you want to look pedantic. If you want to look like someone more imaginative and with a little more head than sticking to what is already established, there are better options.
Well, I would like to learn that best option for resolution. Thanks. Why say that and say nothing ...
To give you an idea, with 7 eggs you could define the maximum height in a 256-storey building.
I loved Wakandel
The one with the coins with the 90 crosses and the 10 faces is easy and with a hatch. 10 coins are separated, whatever they are ... AND THEY ARE TURNED THROUGH !!!.
Example: We separate 10 and 10 are expensive (practically impossible). If we turn them all over, there would be 0 heads in the group of 90 (because we got them all by luck) and 0 heads in our pile (because we turned ALL the coins).
If in the group of 10 we take 3 heads, we will have taken 7 crosses and there will be 7 heads in the large group but… when we turn it around, we are left with 7 faces in our group of 10 and another 7 in the group of 90. Ingenious. I have put 10 coins to do the test, hahahaha.
Apples and Oranges:
It is obvious that the only possibility is to open the one labeled "Apples and Oranges", since being mislabeled, there will be only Apples or only Oranges inside. If the fruit inside is an Orange, that will be the ONLY Oranges drawer. As there are 2 drawers with their corresponding labels, the one that says APPLES cannot contain apples only, because the statement already warns that they are all incorrectly labeled, so that will be the one that contains APPLES AND ORANGES, being the last basket, by elimination, the of only APPLES.
In the case that the fruit is an Apple, that will be the one with only APPLES and the one labeled as Orange will be APPLES AND ORANGES, the other being that of ORANGES.
This one was easier than the one with the coins. More intuitive.
Hi, it doesn't take much effort. In the example of the egg. Where it is thrown from it will break is something that cannot be avoided. What they ask for here is a good packaging that resists fragile objects. Greetings.
