Go on then, what would happen?

As The Travelling Light And The Speed Of The Car Is Equal The Light Would Not Be Able To Shine Infront Of The Car And Would Not Be Seen. Therefore, Switching The Lights On Would Serve No Purpose.

Just Note That This Is Obviously Purely Hypothetical But If You Believe Physicians This Would Happen.

As For Other Killer Questions I Can Only Suggest It Would Take Between 520 [the largest lemurs vs the smallest african elephants] and 181834 [the smallest lemurs vs the largest african elephants]. This is working purely on the basis that creatures of higher mass could overpower creatures of lowr mass and that you would need the above stated number of lemurs to have enough mass to overpower an african elephant.

As For Giving God Knows How Many Digits Of Pi, I Would Have Replied That It Is Unfeasible To Suggest This Is Possilble Given You Only Have 143 Characters With Which To Answer And I Would Have Just Stated It As 3.142

Hope That Gave Enlightment To Somebody. After Researching That I Now Know The Weight Of A Lemur!

I have just taken the test on the texperts website and got 100% on everything except maths which i'm not fond off but still i got 78% and passed! then they said there was only one question left and if i answered it correctly they would hire me and guess what? it was a maths question which i didn't have a clue about!!! i searched the internet but couldn't find any trace. The question was What are the first 12,847,635,475 digits of Pi?
I had 10 mn to asnwer it so i asked a colleague and he wrote down an answer but he said he was only about 40% sure it's the correct answer!!
I felt like crying as i hear many people say they couldn't pass through the initial test but i did and then i stumbled across a stupid question!
Did anyone here get the job?

I would give the answer
"I can't answer this as I've only 142 characters to answer this question. However, I will tell you how to work it out for yourself. To get PI as a decimal, you need to divide 22 by 7 - work it out to as many decimal places as takes your fancy! Your starter for 10 is... 3.142"

Just a thought, maybe your aren't expected to answer the stupid question and they want to see how you get around the impossible?

Maybe...in which case they will have a laugh at my colleague's answer which consisted of a chain of god knows how many numbers (it made about 4 lines!!!!)

I know i won't get it

I had these questions a few days back, and I'm just waiting for my results now.

Try the BBC Tennis site for the challenge rule and Skyserver for the (three) curent theories on the expanding universe. For the grapes question, I couldn't find anything helpful online, so I had to use my brain lol.

Good luck with it!

Great. Thanks very much for your help laffers and i hope you'll hear good news!!
