Interviewer: what's 25x43???

>Taking smartphone out
>Unlocking it
>Opening calculator
>Put in the insane calculation
>SHOUT OUT THE SOLUTION

Thank you sir, you got the job. You are really trying to solve issues.

do people actually ask these questions during an interview? if yes just whip your phone and get the answer

>a sense of humor, such optimism is what we need. You're hired.

yep. since stuff like 25x25 or 44*68 is too "mainstream", they've started moving to triple digits as well all the while completely surprising you after a preceding question that was relaxing and unrelated.

you have keep your slaves hard, don't you. dumb wagies have to be tested by some "interviewers". pathetic, deserved

Easy way to do this in your head is 43 x 100 which is 4300, then you divide this outcome by 4

4000 divided by 4 is obviously 1000 and 300 divided by 4 is 75.

Your answer is therefore 1075

reverse engineering a solution like that in the moment for me is probably more difficult than doing outright. I would have done 20 and 5 times 40, that's 800 + 200. then comes the 25 x3 that's 75

Here's a quick way to do it brother.

I would do 25x40...shit what's that though?

Try again, 20x40 = 2x4= 8 and add the two zeros = 800.

So now we are left with 5 x40 which is simple enough 200.

So 800 + 200 = 1000.

And all we have left is 25x 3 since we didn't do that yet, which is 75.

So 1075. I hope you learnt something new today frend.

that's good and all, but I forget the figures im multiplying when im under stress. fuck

why would you be under stress during a job interview? It's not like the fag on the other side of the table has any power over you

Well you should take deep breaths, look into breathing exercises. I was in the Canadian military and they teach us those for multiple reasons, stress relief is one.

Also you could ask for a pen and paper, that shows resourcefulness.

I'm a brainlet so I would have thought.. "ok, 43 is close to 50. 5 times 25 is 125 so 50 times 25 is 1250. 10 times 25 is 250 so 7 times 25 is 250 - 75 - 175. So 1250 -175 is 1075. Baby steps.

>getting asked math questions while the clock is ticking away

its just a primal reaction, my brain goes to shit. each second I waste I feel like a failure and that compounds the problem

take out your pocket notebook and write 430+430+215=860+215=1075

jesus christ, that's a clusterfuck of thoughts if I've ever seen one, you sure you aren't a genius?

motherfucker you cant do 25x4?

bait

checked
im not sure if most of this thread is bait or biz unironically trying to math

I meant your post is bait friend, that guy was trying to illustrate to op, me,whos a brainlet,the procedures simplified as possible.

You're pretty fucking retarded if you can't do 25x4 and 25x3

Only correct post in this thread.

I answered incorrectly to a 25x25 question in an interview for a programming/EE job. Still got it. Don't sweat it, just ballpark and if he starts complaining ask for a calculator because you're just asking for mistakes if you try to run calculations like that in your head.

pls no bulli
I am terrible at mental maths for an engineering student

>hmmm Tyrone isn't great with his numbers but he hasn't tried to stab me yet.
>congratulations!

>he’s a white male
>he thinks these bs math questions are the reason he isn’t getting hired

noice,thats badass. thanks user,i feel a little better now.
>I am terrible at mental maths for an engineering student
dont sweat it, I think in this day and age of calculators we all suffer some deficiency

Holy fuck I love not being a wagie
