Not only our technical knowledge helps, but also the presence of mind and the right answer at
right time. This is very important during interviews, especially in IAS selection process. Some
questions are unexpected and might demand weird answers. However what we fail to understand
at that moment is that these funny and weird questions actually command an answer that judges
your capability of maintaining your presence of mind in the most stressful situation. They just
want to see if these situations make you uncomfortable or even nervous. Sometimes the reason
for asking these questions can be literally to check your sense of humor or creativity.
Here, we have found 24 really quirky questions (and answers) that were asked in the two stages
of the examination process. Check them out, see if you can solve them without checking out the
answers (given at the end of the article).
Q1: How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor without cracking it?
Q2: What looks like half apple?
Q3: If you had three apples and four oranges in one hand and four apples and three
oranges in the other hand, what would you have?
Q7: Jamie looked at his reflection on the window mirror of the 45th floor. Driven by an
irrational impulse, he made a leap through the window on the other side. Yet Jamie did not
encounter even a single bruise. How can this be possible if he neither landed on a soft
surface nor used a parachute?
Q8: By using only one straight line, can you make the equation correct. 5+5+5=550?
Q9: If you throw a red stone into the blue sea what it will become?
Q10: A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first
is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of
lions that haven’t eaten in 3 years. Which room is safest for him?
Q11: Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or
Sunday?
Q12: What can you never eat for breakfast?
Q13: This is an unusual paragraph. I’m curious as to just how quickly you can find out
what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing
was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual, though. Study it
and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you
might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!
Q14: What if one morning you woke up and found that you were pregnant?
Q15: What happened when the wheel was invented?
Q16: Twins (Adarsh and Anupam) were born in May, but their birthday is in June. How’s
this possible?
Q17: The peacock is a bird that does not lay eggs. How do they get baby peacocks?
Q18: If two’s company, and three’s a crowd, then what is four and five?
Q19: A cat had three kittens: January, March, and May. What was the mother’s name?
Q20: James bond was pushed out of an airplane without any parachute. He survived.
How?
Q21: If it took eight men ten hours to build a wall, how long would it take four men to
build it?

What. “It stated ‘WHAT’ was the mother’s name” this is too stupid to be true, and if its
true, i will leave and apply work at somewhere else. Because the question have question
mark! and “What” is not “WHAT”, its “What”, its looks just like normal “what”. the
perfect answer will be Calendar.

Some of The twisting questions are only possible in English. If you had to ask them in
Tamil some of them questions would have been gone. But I like the math questions.
The last question in the interview was a laugh because the interviewer should have
known where the exact center was before he asked. If he asked how he was so sure it
means he already pointed the exact center.
I can’t believe that IAS exam is so stupid ?if you give this to a 7 year old cousin of mine
he will blow these out in no time.
