Someone once asked me the old Microsoft "manhole cover" question.

Srsly these brain teasers have no correlation to job efficiency. They should have stopped asking these.

I would get up and walk out if ever asked a stupid ass question like that

They would not care if you did that

Give any random number. 1 or 100. Just show a way to get there.

Visa suwa OP Nov 16, 2019

I’m not sure if I got it

They are still asking these kind of questions!!!! I don’t know how to start or where to start preparing for it. I have an interview a year ago and couldn’t clear it. But now I wanna a start preparing 😢

You “have” and interview a year ago? What!

The answer is in your question. “GOOGLE” IT! There are tons of resources to show you how to go about it. If you cant google basic stuff how do you expect to be a coder ?
