Key Takeaways
Solves a Microsoft interview question for systems design
Full Transcript
This question was asked in Microsoft interview. Let's see if you can solve it or not. A man lives on the 10th floor of a building and comes down by lift every day. But when he goes upstairs, he only goes up to the eighth floor and then takes the stairs. Why so? Pause and think about it. The answer is simple. This is because he is short. That's why he is unable to reach the button for the 10th floor. Microsoft loves laughs that punish overthinking. That's why sometimes you need to think out of the box.
