    應對谷歌燒腦招聘面試題 你夠聰明嗎

    Are YOU clever enough to answer Google's toughest interview questions?

    Going for a job interview is nerve-racking at the best of times, but tech giant Google has become notorious for asking fiendishly tough questions.

    即便是招聘高峰期,求職面試也會非常傷神費腦,然而科技巨頭谷歌的面試題則因其奇葩刁鉆而異常出名.

    The company used to ask head-scratching questions such as 'How many piano tuners are there in the world?' and 'How many golf balls does it take to fill a school bus?'.

    谷歌公司曾問過一些令人頭痛不已的面試問題,例如,"世界上有多少位鋼琴調音師?"以及"一輛校車里最多能塞多少顆高爾夫球?".

    But some of the riddles were so tough they have now been banned from the interview process.

    但因有些謎題太過于荒謬古怪,谷歌公司現在已不再將其納入面試流程中.

    Recruiter Impact Interview have compiled a list of 140 questions candidates have reported being asked at interviews for various roles at Google, many of which have now been dropped from the process.

    招聘面試小冊子匯編140道題,依應聘人員所言,在谷歌面試中他們曾以各種角色回答過此類問題.目前其中的許多問題已從面試流程中剔除.

    One of the tough teasers that candidates used to be asked was: 'How many piano tuners are there in the entire world?'

    應聘者們曾經回答過這樣一個令人啼笑皆非的難題:"全世界有多少位鋼琴調音師?"

    The riddle is known as a Fermi problem, named after the physicist Enrico Fermi who was known for his ability to make good calculations with very little information or even none.

    這類謎題被稱為"費米問題",命名來自物理學家恩里科·費米,他之所以聲名遠揚是因為他能夠在少量的給定信息甚至沒有信息的情況下進行運算.

    Its purpose is to test a candidates approximation skills as well as their ability at dimensional analysis.

    費米問題意在考察應聘者的估算能力以及量綱分析能力.

    The puzzle is solved by multiplying a series of estimates to get to the right answer. So a candidate would have to estimate factors such as how many households have a piano, how often they are tuned to figure out how many piano tunings take place a year.

    解決費米問題的方法在于通過一系列估算而無限接近正確答案.因此,應聘者需要考量一些因素,諸如:擁有鋼琴的家庭戶數,此類家庭進行鋼琴調音的頻次等,從而得出每年有多少次的鋼琴調音.

    They then need to calculate the average working hours of a piano tuners and the number of jobs they carry out.

    隨后,應聘者們需要估算出鋼琴調音師的平均工作時長以及工作量.

    The number of piano tunings that take place per year divided by the number per year per piano tuner should yield the answer.

    因此,用每年所有家庭需要進行鋼琴調音的次數除以每年每位鋼琴調音師的工作量,答案就此誕生.
