Color me stumped because choosing weights based upon powers of 2 would seem to give 7 of them up to 64oz. That would allow you to weigh anything up to 127oz, which is overachieving the target, but how can the number of weights be reduced and still cover every integral ounce from 1-100?
BZZZZZ! Close but no cigar. You should have gone for 1 mile in circumference instead of diameter. There are also many other circles which would cause you to take 2, 3, 4.... laps around the pole before heading north.
This fails because you don't end up at the same point after your westward laps around the pole. The key is that your 1 mile west walk needs to end up at the same place it started. You can do one or multiple circumnavigations.
This seems an inventory question on one's ability to manipulate something 3d in the mind.
To me it seems more like a nonsense question used by an interviewer in order to make himself feel superior.
Which is why you just failed the interview. We often ask brainteaser questions, asking the interviewee to discuss their thought process out loud. We don't always expect the correct answer, but rational analysis and creativity score points.
The failure of this article is that it's simply focusing on the last two presidential elections. Why not look at a larger data set...all of the gubernatorial elections for example? Also, I'd argue that Obama's first election was a one-off. Many of those voting for him did so because of him potentially being the first "black" president. He was also able to stir up the youth vote with "Hope" and "Change". How many of those came back for the second? He was also advantaged in following the Bush years...it was his election to lose. I believe much of the 2012 vote went the way it did as more of an anti-Romney...he shot himself in the foot a couple times.
You don't necessarily need to be smarter than the customer, you simply need to be able to make a convincing argument/case for your product or service. That doesn't require a higher IQ. We've all done this to certain degrees, making a pitch to a boss, or chief engineer, to convince them to do something. Now, if we're talking about a dishonest pitch (often the case in marketing), the fairy tale being told similarly needs to be convincing, but doesn't require the folks telling it be "smarter".
1.How responsible is Craftsman if someone uses a hammer to murder someone? 2.How responsible is Smith & Wesson? 3.How responsible is the tool creator when a tool is used by someone for a purpose that it wasn't designed for?
Now, I know people will come in on different sides for all of those questions. My own $.02 is that the tool creator would only be responsible for the tool failing...exploding Pintos for example. I'm guessing that many of you aren't old enough to remember Ford's issue with that model though.
I agree with much of your post except the part where you claim this government has less power than the previous one. What are you basing that on? What freedoms have they restored? Are they allowing us to choose our own doctor again?
Okay, I should have included small business, and individuals selling their wares. Or, are you agreeing with Barbara's position that only customers create jobs?

BZZZZT! It's red from all your blood.

Nautical or statute?

But since there's no "earth" at the north pole, the correct answer is obviously the south pole.
The question specifically says Earth with a capital E, indicating the planet, not the soil.

Why not the magnetic as well, along with the multiple rings around the South Pole that also qualify.

And what if you cross the international dateline, and back in time?
The north and south bound portions are curved lines as well, unless you want to become airborne.

Well, that reduces the targets for an enemy by 245.
You must be new.
Will it have one hump, or two?
which is why trojans collect there.
Wondered where all the used ones ended up.
Remember how much energy was needed to get it up there from low earth orbit. The satellite has to give up all of that...
Wasn't that already given up to some sort of reverse thrusters placing it into geosync?

Kind of off topic, and somewhat incorrect as it gives them no more or less power.
Why would anyone pooh-pooh the idea?
I guess the ACA had nothing to do with this then.

As if there aren't people on both sides for and against it.

Why does /. even post this crap? There's nothing in the article that shows any evidence that this is real.
