Posted April 27, 200817 yr I've found this posted by a guy who was interviewed for work at Microsoft. Check the conversation flow below:From "Pete" (not his real name): I walked into my first technical interview at Microsoft, and before I could say anything, the woman says, You're in an 8x8 stone corridor. -I blink and sit down. Interviewer: The prince of darkness appears before you. Me: You mean, like, the devil? Interviewer: Any prince of darkness will do. Me: Ok. Interviewer: What do you do? Me: <pause> Can I run? Interviewer: Do you want to run? Me: Hmm I guess not Do I have a weapon? Interviewer: What kind of weapon do you want? Me: Um something with range? Interviewer: Like what? Me: Uh a crossbow? Interviewer: What kind of ammo do you have? Me: <long pause> Ice arrows? Interviewer: Why? Me: <floundering> Because the prince of darkness is a creature made of fire??? Interviewer: Fine, so what do you do next? Me: I shoot him? Interviewer: No what do you do? Me: <blank stare> Interviewer: You WASTE him! You *WASTE* the prince of darkness!! Me: <completely freaked out and off my game> Holy crap, what have I gotten myself into. She then tells me that she asks that question for two reasons. 1) Because she wants to know if the candidate is a gamer (which is apparently really important please note: I'm not a gamer) 2) because she wants her question to show up on some website. I hate to accommodate her, but this is definitely the weirdest interview question I've ever heard of.Well, here you go, weird-prince-of-darkness-wasting-lady...
