3. “You’re in a row boat, which is in a large tank filled with water. You have an anchor on board, which you throw overboard (the chain is long enough so the anchor rests completely on the bottom of the tank). Does the water level in the tank rise or fall?” (Asked at Tesla Motors).
4. “Does life fascinate you?” (Asked at Ernst & Young).
5. “Just entertain me for five minutes, I’m not going to talk.” (Asked at Acosta).
