Interview Top 10 Puzzles

Puzzles, riddles, logical questions, and lateral thinking questions are important part of any selection process for a job interview. You can check how good you are by answering these top 10 interview puzzles.

 1. Ant and Triangle Problem Three ants are sitting at the three corners of an equilateral triangle. Each ant starts randomly picks a direction and starts to move along the edge of the triangle. What is the probability that none of the ants collide? 

2. Crossing the Bridge Puzzle Four people need to cross a rickety bridge at night. Unfortunately, they have only one torch and the bridge is too dangerous to cross without one. The bridge is only strong enough to support two people at a time. Not all people take the same time to cross the bridge. Times for each person: 1 min, 2 mins, 7 mins and 10 mins. What is the shortest time needed for all four of them to cross the bridge? 

3. Burning Rope Problem A man has two ropes of varying thickness (Those two ropes are not identical, they aren’t the same density nor the same length nor the same width). Each rope burns in 60 minutes. He actually wants to measure 45 mins. How can he measure 45 mins using only these two ropes. He can’t cut the one rope in half because the ropes are non-homogeneous and he can’t be sure how long it will burn. 

4. Heaven’s Gate Problem You are standing before two doors. One of the path leads to heaven and the other one leads to hell. There are two guardians, one by each door. You know one of them always tells the truth and the other always lies, but you don’t know who is the honest one and who is the liar. You can only ask one question to one of them in order to find the way to heaven. What is the question? 

5. 10 Coins Puzzle You are blindfolded and 10 coins are place in front of you on table. You are allowed to touch the coins, but can’t tell which way up they are by feel. You are told that there are 5 coins head up, and 5 coins tails up but not which ones are which. How do you make two piles of coins each with the same number of heads up? You can flip the coins any number of times.

 6. King and Wind Bottles Puzzle A bad king has a cellar of 1000 bottles of delightful and very expensive wine. A neighboring queen plots to kill the bad king and sends a servant to poison the wine. Fortunately (or say unfortunately) the bad king’s guards catch the servant after he has only poisoned one bottle. Alas, the guards don’t know which bottle but know that the poison is so strong that even if diluted 100,000 times it would still kill the king. Furthermore, it takes one month to have an effect. The bad king decides he will get some of the prisoners in his vast dungeons to drink the wine. Being a clever bad king he knows he needs to murder no more than 10 prisoners – believing he can fob off such a low death rate – and will still be able to drink the rest of the wine (999 bottles) at his anniversary party in 5 weeks time. Explain what is in mind of the king, how will he be able to do so ? 

7. Mislabeled Jar Puzzle You have 3 jars that are all mislabeled. One jar contains Apple, another contains Oranges and the third jar contains a mixture of both Apple and Oranges. You are allowed to pick as many fruits as you want from each jar to fix the labels on the jars. What is the minimum number of fruits that you have to pick and from which jars to correctly label them? 

8. Red and Blue marbles Puzzle You have two jars, 50 red marbles and 50 blue marbles. You need to place all the marbles into the jars such that when you blindly pick one marble out of one jar, you maximize the chances that it will be red. When picking, you’ll first randomly pick a jar, and then randomly pick a marble out of that jar. You can arrange the marbles however you like, but each marble must be in a jar. 

9. Gold Bar Problem You’ve got someone working for you for seven days and a gold bar to pay him. The gold bar is segmented into seven connected pieces. You must give them a piece of gold at the end of every day. What and where are the fewest number of cuts to the bar of gold that will allow you to pay him 1/7th each day?

10. 100 Doors Puzzle You have 100 doors in a row that are all initially closed. you make 100 passes by the doors starting with the first door every time. the first time through you visit every door and toggle the door (if the door is closed, you open it, if its open, you close it). the second time you only visit every 2nd door (door #2, #4, #6). the third time, every 3rd door (door #3, #6, #9), etc, until you only visit the 100th door. What state are the doors in after the last pass? Which are open which are closed? 


Waiting your answer :) Please submit your answer with Question number on comment section

What is 5G technology/generation ?

5G simply stands for fifth generation and refers to the next and newest mobile wireless standard based on the IEEE 802.11ac standard of broadband technology, although a formal standard for 5G is yet to be set

LTA

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the preferred development path of currently deployed GSM/WCDMA/HSPA networks, and is the increasingly preferred option for the evolution of CDMA networks

• LTE allows networks to offer a higher data throughput to mobile devices, which is required in order to deliver new and advanced mobile broadband services to businesses and consumers

• Based on 3GPP standards, the primary objective of LTE is to provide services with a quality at least equivalent to what an end-user can experience today using fixed broadband access at home. It also aims to reduce operational expenses by means of introducing a flat IP architecture

• Some of the key objectives to LTE involve higher data rates, lower latency,
and an all IP network

DIAMETER message format

A Diameter message consists of a fixed-length 20-octet header followed by a variable
number of AVPs (Attributed Value Pair). T

 The Version field indicates the Diameter protocol version and is set to 1 for now.
 The Command flags field specifies 4 flags for now:

  •  R flag (stands for Request) shows whether the message is a request or a response. 
  •  P flag (stands for Proxiable) shows if the message can be proxied, relayed or redirected or it must be locally processed. 
  •  E flag (stands for Error) to show if the message contains protocol or semantic errors. When a request message generates a protocol error an answer message is sent back with the ‘‘E’’ bit set in the Diameter header, indicating a protocol error. 
  • T flag to show that a message can potentially be a retransmitted message after a link fail-over or is used to aid removal of duplicate messages. 
  •  r : these flag bits are reserved for future use, and must be set to zero, and ignored by the receiver. 


 The command code value indicates the command associated with the message, such as “credit-control-request ” or “accounting-request”, and so on. Every Diameter message must contain a command code so that the receiver can determine what action it needs to take for each message. The command code is the same of the request and its corresponding answer.


  •  Application ID identifies the specific application the message is used for, such as S6a/S6d between MME and HSS, Gx between PCEF and PCR, etc. 
  • Hop-by-hop identifier field carries an identifier that is used to match request and responses over that hop. The sender of the request must ensure that the identifier is unique over the connection on that hop at any given time. The sender of a response must ensure that the identifier value is the same as that in the corresponding request. . The Hop-by-Hop identifier is normally a monotonically increasing number, whose start value was randomly generated. An answer message that is received with an unknown Hop-byHop Identifier must be discarded. Hop-by-Hop identifier allows a Diameter response to follow the same route as the corresponding Diameter request. 
  • End-to-end identifier is an identifier used to detect duplicate messages. The identifier in a response message must match the identifier in the corresponding request message. The identifier must remain locally unique for at least 4 minutes. This identifier and the OriginHost AVP are used together to detect message duplicates. Note duplicate request could cause duplicate responses but the duplications must not affect any states that were created by the original reques
