1) There is a goat,a tiger,a man and a bundle of grass on one side of a river. There's a boat which can only carry two at a time and can only be rowed manually by the man. How can they cross the river? 2) There are four temples, one plant of flower and a pond. A boy goes there and before entering the first temple he plucks the flower and has to take a bath in the pond before entering into every temple. The specialty of the pond is that if a person is carrying flowers with him and he takes a dip in the pond the number of the flowers gets doubled. He takes a dip and offers some flowers in the first temple, then he again takes a dip and offers flowers in second temple , and again the same in the third temple. The boy offers EQUAL number of flowers in all the 3 temples and goes back with EMPTY hand after offering flower in the third temple..How many flowers could he have offered in each temple?

I have never felt so passionate about writing a response to an interview. This is because this interview was the most belittling, misogynistic, and ill-mannered interview I have ever experienced. The interviwer asked me various questions that had little to do with the position, but more so to do with boosting his own ego. He reminded me several times that he has a PH.D., as if my Masters Degree was beneath him. Awful. Awful. Awful.

The most difficult question of the interview I faced was probably the first: "Please introduce yourself." It's not a question I've often been asked in job interviews. While I got to present myself, it's also a very open-ended question that can trap you if you say too much, or say the wrong things.
