I was asked a great and interesting question that I will most likely use in my hiring process going forward that really demonstrates how one thinks and responds to a analytical problem. You have 9 balls and a balance, one ball is slightly heavier than the rest, with only 2 chances on the balance find that ball. The interviewer helps think through and everyone gets to the answer by the end but it really displays how someone works through a problem.
