Job candidates get very unusual and slightly confusing questions when applying for a job at Apple.

Apple is one of the most prestigious companies in the world, so it's not surprising to learn that getting a job there isn't easy. Candidates must possess knowledge and skill and leave an impression at the interview.

As Business Insider writes, Apple asks both technical interview questions, based on your past work experience, and some mind-boggling puzzles.

These are just some of the questions, tportal writes:

– We have a cup of hot coffee and a small cold milk out of the fridge. The room temperature is in between these two. When should we add milk to coffee to get the coolest combination earliest (at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end)?

– What superhero would you be and why?

– Explain what RAM is to a five year old.

– Draw the inside architecture of an iPhone.

– Give me 5 ways of measuring how much gasoline is in a car.

– If you have 2 eggs, and you want to figure out what's the highest floor from which you can drop the egg without breaking it, how would you do it? What's the optimal solution?

– How many children are born every day?

– You have a 100 coins laying flat on a table, each with a head side and a tail side. 10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can't feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up. Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.

– There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?

– Scenario: You're dealing with an angry customer who was waiting for help for the past 20 minutes and is causing a commotion. She claims that she'll just walk over to Best Buy or the Microsoft Store to get the computer she wants. Resolve this issue.


– Are you smart?

– You put a glass of water on a record turntable and begin slowly increasing the speed. What happens first — does the glass slide off, tip over, or does the water splash out?

– Describe a humbling experience.

– You seem pretty positive, what types of things bring you down?

– If you're given a jar with a mix of fair and unfair coins, and you pull one out and flip it 3 times, and get the specific sequence heads heads tails, what are the chances that you pulled out a fair or an unfair coin?

– How would you test a toaster?

– If you are to go up the mountain one day and come down the next day, leaving at the same time, will you ever be at the same place at the same time of day?

– 62-63=1; Changing only one element (either digit or operand), make this statement true.

– How would you plan a hand gliding trip for your colleagues to North Korea?
