RE: interview with Oracle

Not an Oracle interview, but for my current position as Sneior DBA, I was
asked -
 
Why are manhole covers round ?
 
If you were transported back into the 14th century, how would you convince
the pope that the Earth was round ?
 
You are standing on a yacht sitting on a small lake, if you find a boulder
on the deck of the yacht and roll it over the side into the water, what
happens to the water level of the lake ?

Yeah, they do.  The question I got was "How would you transit a Black Hole?"

Well, everyone knows that.
 
1) It depends on the ethnicity of the swallow
2) What you get when you multiply six by eight
3) The shade of purple with the most vowels
 
I'm sure they'll ask something a bit more arcane... but you always look on
the bright side of life.

Yes it is. It is like Spanish Inquisition and nobody expects 
the Spanish Inquisition. They asked the following questions: 

1) Air velocity of an unladen swallow. 
2) The answer to the question of life, universe and everything. 
3) The color of the database which takes the least amount of RAM.

Hello all 

Someone I know has a graduate interview with Oracle. Has anyone else had 
the same , and if so, what sort of questions do they ask you? Is it any 
different than your normal interview?
