Hi!
Interviewer
Oh yeah. So....

I don't play soccer either, although I would take a mathematical approach to that question and ask about the ball, house size then ask about unoccupied space to allocate for the balls, trying to account for architecture, furniture and such.. :)

If I got a question like that, I would laugh and probably leave. I don't need to work for a company where they google "How to interview developers" before the interview.

He zoned out? 😂

This is a standard interview question for a consultant role. The answer is not important, what's important is that you show how you would get across an unexpected problem and try to figure out the important stuff with relevant questions and a logical procedure.
For a dev role, it's kind of stupid though.

@lotd @WerewolfCustoms @A-0-C @vasq
Well, i got selected by that soccer question.

i hate this kind of questions ... i dunno never tried and no processing power to spare on a useless problem like this. it's just like those fucking "if we launch a projectile from a canon 6ft long angled at 6deg where would the projectile land" ... euu fucking launch it and see for yourself. why can't people give some useful real life problems instead of shit like that.

For the last time, wtf is soccer?
I know football and handegg.

@makwayne It's a sport that requires just one ball.

@WerewolfCustoms which sport(outdoor) requires more than one ball? o.O

Motorsport :)

just say much :D

Have fun with it.
"How many soccer balls fit in your house?"
"Are they deflated or inflated? Paneled uniformly? What's my target pressure exerted against the walls by the packed soccer balls...."
If they're gonna give a brain teaser, make them work for the answer. 😂

@mhudson constructive , ++

@makwayne lol football for Americans.
