美国面试智力题

最近和小盆友们一起在苦逼找工作，发现美国这边IT公司喜欢问一些小智力题，感觉蛮有意思的，分享给大家！

1.There are 9 tennis balls, 8 are exactlly the same(color, weight) one is little heavier than others. And a two-side balance scale, with this balance scale,

Give the minimum number you can find the heavier ball.

Analysis:

Best: one time. divide 8 balls into 2 teams, 4 &4. the left one is the heavy one.

Average: Every time divide into 3 teams. 

First, 3 teams with 3balls, we could find the heavy team with weighing one time.

Second, divide the heavy team into 3 teams with 1 ball. we could find the heavy one weighing one time.

这种方案两次就能找出来。

2. 69 * 71 ==？what is your solution, process?

(70-1)*(70+1) = 4900-1 = 4899

or 70 * 7

这种题对于在国内上过高二的同学来说，应该没有难度吧

3. There is a chess board with 8 rows and 8 column.How many totally number of square it have?

注意这里的square 是指任意边长的正方形 从1--8

solution:

For length1:  8*8 = 64;

For length2  7*7 = 49

For length3  6*6 = 36

For length4  5*5 = 25

For length5 4*4 = 16

For length6 3*3 = 9

For length7 2*2 = 4

For length8 1*1 =1

Totally: 1+4+9+16+25+36+49+64 = 204
