GOOGLE technical interview puzzle : This puzzle is asked in the software or technical porgramming Google interviews. This video explains the questions or requirements and two different answers. It's a hard logic riddle. ----------------------------------------------- You can find the solution with 4 men at this google drive link below: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KgRfT6HEM3_dT7S9_UF0ydFPeSyLkaxu/view?usp=sharing ----------------------------------------------- This interview puzzle has a mind blowing GOOGLE twist inside, so watch the complete video as you will see a smarter approach to solve this puzzle. PUZZLE : There are 12 men on an island. Eleven weigh exactly the same amount but one of them is either heavier or lighter than others. There is a see-saw on the island which can be used to find out the odd man, but the catch here is that you can use the see-saw only 3 times. So using the see-saw only 3 times... Your task is to find out - the odd man (i.e. the man with different weight). - and Also find out if the odd man is heavier or lighter. There exists several variations of this interview puzzle such as: - 12 (twelve) balls and 3 (three) weighing/scale - 12 marbles and 3 scale - Twelve coins and three weighing (12 coins riddle) In all these variations the intention is to identify the defective object by using the scale only three times. Also, you would need to figure out if the defective object is lighter or heavier compared to others. This google interview coding question or puzzle was also featured in a TV series called Brooklyn 99 (Brooklyn Nine-Nine ) in the same format of 12 men as in this video. Google is known for asking tricky puzzles and hard riddles in the interviews. They check the optimization skills of a candidate with his approach of solving a puzzle. If a candidate has good optimization skills then it will benefit the organization in writing optimized programming code that eventually improves the response time of software applications and websites. In the video I have explained a natural approach followed by a fresh approach which is expected by google interviewer. I also have explained why the first approach is not upto the mark for google and how we can arrive at the second approach in most logical way possible.
