Microsoft drops brain teasers from employee interview process

The interview process for Silicon Valley developer jobs has always had a reputation of being an arcane trial by fire exercise designed to weed down thousands of applicants to just the selected few antisocial geniuses.

Microsoft has however been making an effort to improve their hiring process to make it more useful and inclusive, and in a blog post John Montgomery, partner director of program management at Microsoft, explained the changes Microsoft has made to the process, which has meant cutting out such as questions as how many golf balls will fit into a 747.

Rethinking how we interview in Microsoft's Developer Division.

    The light in the Earth's shadow can't change because the moon is passing through it. So how does the lunar eclipse start out black, and end red?

    Contrast. Your eyes (and video cameras) don't see the dim red light because of the bright light from the parts of the Moon that are still illuminated. But in a total eclipse situation you no longer have that glare.

    For this reason, God sends them a powerful delusion(operation of wandering)(planet) so that they will believe the lie.

    Satan is the only would-be god of lies in your theology. A perfect being like God would have no reason or need to lie to us in any way. It's not surprising to me that you descend into outright blasphemy among your other bits of cognitive dissonance.
