Speaking of solving things. I had this video pop up on my youtube recommended about a question sent to Einstein by a friend of his in 1924.
You have a car traveling 2 miles up over a hill. The first mile the car averages 15mph. How fast does the car have to go in the second mile to average 30mph for the entire two miles?

Which is kinda funny to me because that's what I always hated about the educational system, at least in college. Math professors saying finding recurrences in a discrete math problem, or writing a proof for some calculus thing, etc. was "easy" or "not too hard", and it's like, well, yeah you're the one deciding on the problem or question to give, so you likely already know how to solve or prove it. Anyways I definitely blame myself for some of it because I know all these places ask this stuff and I don't study it hard enough.

The majority of interviews are geared towards what have you done? How did you do it? I ask What do you need? If I wanted to keep doing what I've already done I would have stayed where I was.
This statement has landed me two jobs in the last 25 years "I've seen too many times where people purposefully make their code complicated to create job security. My philosophy is simple. Do a job well and move on to the next project; Don't take three rights to make a left." And - never discuss salary until it's the only thing standing between you and a start date. Quote:

See, I was going to with "Describe being in the Army in one picture" but decided on the other tittle. Great minds think alike.

I didn't get in trouble in my career but when I was in school, and was waiting on my orders to go back home, I had to go around the Battalion HQ, and clean the dirt off rocks. Then align another set of rock spheres and put then in "Formation" with perfect dress-right-dress.
