Let’s face it – in today’s age, there’s little reason for any candidate to walk into an interview unprepared. The internet is filled with countless articles detailing the best answers to common interview questions (like this one, this one, and this one). While no two candidates’ responses will ever be the same, typical interview questions can and do produce typical interview answers.

Sometimes the best way to discern one amazing candidate from another is to ask an oddball question – one that throws the candidate off guard and forces them to think on the spot. Here are some oddball interview questions* from some of the world’s largest companies.
