I did one of those shitty logic bullshit tests these a few weeks ago. It was fucking dumb. Was told to write an algorithm to test when an egg would break if it was dropped off a ladder with 100 steps. An egg would break if you dropped it without being on a ladder. Am I right? The guy was like yeah but what if it didn't? I said Well it would. Eggs are fragile. How about you go away with your fictional fucking logic and ask me some proper question that test my actual coding knowledge instead of trying to pony about on your high horse. Cunt!

    I was asked the same question recently. They changed the eggs to cell phones for credibility, I guess xD. The solution is even more stupid than the question.

    @rantsauce Yeah. I just don't see the point. I get they are trying gauge how you think about problems but when the decision is based around wherever or not you are successful is retarded. I always say if you ask a stupid question , you get a stupid answer....

    Sound like they want a binary search or something similar. Checking if you can apply an algorithm to a situation. Though breaking an egg does make it kinda silly.

    My guess would be when it hits the ground.

    @totoxto Binary search wouldn’t work if you only had one egg. 😉

    @deviosa1 I don't interpret that description of the problem as there being only one egg, just that an egg is the type of item we want information about.

    @totoxto You’re probably right I’m just saying it would totally change the algorithm.
