By William Poundstone - ISBN: 0316778494

Microsoft and other corporations now ask, such as: Why are
manhole covers round? How do they make M&Ms? What does
the ice in a hockey rink weigh? Better yet, Poundstone suggests
valid ways of answering. Even better, reader reviews give this
book high marks. If you're facing grueling technical interviews,
