Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?
I've never experienced such an intensive interview, it was even more intensed than the one I had when I joined the bank. The whole process took 2 hours, a major part of it was answering HR's favourite behavourial questions, the final half hour was a 10 page written test. What type of questions? Hmm..it's everything, testing your proofreading skill, vocab, basic math calculations, problem solving, logic, comprehension, and analytical skill. Here's an example of a basic math problem. 10 boxes of apples weigh 300 lbs, when emptied, each box weighs 3 lbs. What is the total weight of the apples? If you can answer this question, congrats, you are smarter than a 5th grader. Hope to see you on the show :P

300 - (10 * 3) = 270 lbs.
here's how I would do it:
300/10=30
10*(30-3)=270
