As society develops and education improves, people's knowledge levels have also been generally raised. Nowadays, companies are becoming increasingly strict in selecting talents. Fresh university graduates are often easily tricked by interviewers as they enter the workforce. Interviewers are also constantly learning how to identify the most outstanding employees for their companies. 

When the female PhD candidate Yang Lele was looking for a job, she encountered a situation where the interviewer asked her a question: "A crab has 8 legs, how many legs would 100 crabs have?" 

After a few minutes, the two job applicants started answering in turn. Lele didn't know what the interviewer was getting at and could only answer honestly: a crab has 8 legs, so 100 crabs would have 800 legs.

The interviewer showed contempt upon hearing her answer and said, "If it were such a simple question, why would I ask it here? At least you are a PhD graduate, after reading so many books, why can't you think more flexibly?" Embarrassed, Lele lowered her head.

Another man raised his hand and answered, "If there are one hundred crabs, then there would be eight hundred legs.

However, if it were other animals, like fish or other marine creatures, having no legs would be reasonable. Therefore, this question is a trap of narrow-minded thinking!" The interviewer applauded, saying that people who dare to think outside the box are the talents that companies need the most. 

In response to increasingly unpredictable interview questions, job seekers must improve their ability to think on their feet.

After all, in the workplace, there will be many unexpected situations that require quick thinking. Questions like these brain teasers are actually quite interesting, and job seekers should broaden their thinking when preparing for interviews instead of being confined to conventional interview questions. What would you do if you encountered such an interviewer?
