=============


I hear,  from time to time,  that some  HR  departments use such problems to estimate IQ of the employees

(or future employees).


I grab my head then . . . 


How can these   (. . . an omitted word . . .)    estimate somebodies'  IQ  giving them mathematically incorrect questions (? ? ?)



Let me tell you one popular joke,  which perfectly suits this situation.


<pre>
    "If a person is able to do his job, he does.

     If a person is not able to do his job, he starts to teach.

     If the person can not teach, he becomes a manager".
</pre>

Yes, &nbsp;it is a joke, &nbsp;but this time I am about that managers from &nbsp;HR &nbsp;departments.



In this sense, &nbsp;I am very happy person, &nbsp;because &nbsp;NOBODY, &nbsp;NOWHERE &nbsp;and &nbsp;NEVER &nbsp;asked me such gibberish.
