Job interview question suggestions

Ficheall

I'm trying to write a mock interview, and would appreciate some ludicrous question suggestions from AH. The position is chair of a university chess club.
Please feel free to be ridiculous.

Have you ever had sex?

No- Welcome to chess club.
Yes- We don't appreciate lies.

Where do you see yourself in five years?

Covered in bitches and gold is not the correct answer.

If a member of the club had been accused of cheating in a competition and you were called upon by a review board to explain his/her actions would you;

a) Deny Deny
b) Turn up with faeces smeared all over your face while gnawing on a cat you had just run over and proclaim the member to be "slightly crazy but he/she's a guy guy/lass so I wouldn't worry too much about it"
c) Explain that it's not cheating, it's just a sexual thing and swiftly remove two kings, a rook and 5 pawns from your anus placing them carefully on the review boards' desk

Interviewed for a major search engine company recently. You could try googling them. Anyway, last question I was asked which was 70% of my overall score, so I was informed, was:

How many ping pong balls would it take to fill this room?

Came from way out of left field. I quickly calculated the floor space and the area of the interview room and took a stab at 1million.

Actual answer was 650 odd thousand. Can't remember the exact figure.

Anyway when I asked him why this question was in the interview, he said it wasn't so much about getting the correct answer, but rather how you backed up your method for your answer.
Anyway I passed in the end.

Still a ridiculous question on which to measure someones suitability for a job.

Does that mean you didn't get the job then?
You could have said you were thinking of the old tabletennis balls which were 2mm smaller, up until 2010 I think.

I wish I had known that before I went in. Goes to show how prepared I am for interviews. Though I guess even if I had known, I couldn't have known the size of the room. Where else would I find the standard Google ones? I have a second round stage coming up.

You'd think wouldn't ya! Seems google don't answer questions about questions that google ask. Problem is I don't know for certain which ones are actually used by Google...you seemed to be able to verify them.
