25、   It has long been considered one of the best companies, but do you have what it takes to work for Google?

It may take a sharp mind, as an American author says that the search engine giant (搜索引擎巨人) asks its interviewees to answer difficult question.

William Poundstone believes that he has unlocked the secret of how to succeed in an interview at Google in a new book, Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?

The interviewer’s goal is to see how the thinking process of the applicant (应聘者) works, and to test his or her creativity when solving problems. He suggests the applicant should “retell the question” in their own words, as doing so gives them time to think and makes sure that they understand what is being asked.

Some of Google’s brain teasers:

* Why are manhole covers (下水道井盖) round?

* How much toilet paper would you need to cover Texas?

* You are shrunk (缩小) to the height of a nickel (五分硬币) and thrown in a blender (搅拌机).
