It was an interview question so snarky comebacks = no callback.

It's up to the interviewee to state assumptions required to answer the question. The assumptions are equally telling.

I won't be able to golf with the old man this weekend unless my hand makes a miraculous recovery

Feels bad. One of the things I really look forward to on my days off

So, it really was deep. Glad you got it checked/cleaned.

Hard to keep up here if you have a life...........

Fan will make no difference unless you are sitting in front of it.

Temperature change in room will be insignificant since:
1. The heat exchange between that small amount of ice and the room air will be very small , and
2. The electric motor on the fan will generate a small amount of added heat for the room air.

Bonus - the extra energy in the room comes from the electricity consumed by the fan.


BTW - my engineering background has nothing to do with this.

Well for that we'll need some countermeasures.

I don't want to work for you, sounds like a crappy environment.

That wasn't snark - I think i work in a different industry though, so that may play a role. When interviewing others, I'd dock anyone that doesn't request clarification on an unclear directive such as you gave. And if I were the candidate, I'd be watching for a good response to my last query... Not to mention a willingness to clarify.

I say if the cold air feels good on your face then go or it...

Well I did just that one time I went in for an interview a few months ago, and I got the hiring manager in shock and awe cuz he wasn't expecting me to ask for clarification. He was a n00b interviewer anyway, only kept reading off the same 38 questions everyone gets off the interweb. He wouldn't let me reason out my answers either.

On top of that, the job description posted was completely wrong (it was for an entry level position, but turns out they were hiring for something exactly the same as my previous role). Glad I didn't get a call back from them. Hard to believe this was a multi-national audit firm.

Sounds similar to a position I interviewed for about a year ago. The posted position was for a managerial role, through the interview process, I found out it was for an entry level position that was a tryout for a managerial spot.

I had also borrowed a co-workers laptop for the Skype interview since mine had broken a few days before that. Both the interviewers addressed me as "Josh" (my co-workers name). I was absolutely shocked when that happened. Definitely wasn't a place I wanted to work at after that.

As someone who just interviewed a person today, if I asked that question and received a snarky response, I'd move said person to the top of the list.

Information Security takes a... special... mindset.

My money is on the Linksys. Radio waves, in a vacuum, travel at 300,000 kms. While they're drastically slowed by obstacles (e.g. walls, shelving, seagulls), I'm reasonably certain that a Chiron is as well.
