Needle in a haystack 05 January, 2011

At work yesterday a few of us were talking about interview questions. One guy, who actually just got hired away, said he was recently asked was, "Tell me how you would find a needle in a haystack."

A couple of answers:

"Burn the 'mother down and sift through the ashes"

"Sell the hay in small batches, like a lottery, and offer a reward for the person who finds it."

"Could we out source it?"

And my favorite:

"Wait, are you saying this company can't afford another needle?"
