Brain Teasers, etc.
The most dangerous job in America is "minding your own business" , which
will tend to get you beaten, robbed,stabbed, shot in the rear
end,hand,leg,chest,abdomen,groin,neck,head apparently at a higher frequency
than any other occupation.
This is one is our favorite. It sure relates to medicine and physics at the
same time.
Q: There are two guys (medical college students) standing on 3rd and 4th floor
balconies. On a signal made by a third guy standing on the ground they start
yelling at each other. Who will hear the other guy's voice first, the one
yelling from the 3rd floor or the one from the 4th?
A: Here is the answer
Q: Black and white socks (about stereotypes): You have 20 black and 20
white socks. All socks are in a box and you can not see them. How many socks do
you need to make sure you get to your residency interview in a matched pair?
A: Here
Q: Four interviewees and a two seat car (breaks stereotypes): There
are four interview candidates standing in a hotel hallway running late for
the residency interview. Evil Program Director provided them with a nice sporty
two seat Corvette (Mustang, BMW, just pick one). But it is just one two-seat
car. Each candidate has different driving abilities. So, one guy needs 10
minutes to get to the hospital, another guy needs 5 minutes, third guy needs 2
minutes, and the fourth one needs just one minute. Yet another obstacle put by
the PD is that if there are two guys in a car, the slower one should drive. Can
you come up with a plan how to get all of them there in 17 minutes assuming
that drive to a hospital takes the same amount of time as a drive to a hotel?
A: If you can only come up with an 19 min. solution, try again.
The solution is very simple.
Q: When do the Match results become available?
A: Here are just some facts brought to you by a creative mind.
You may find some food for thought in the PDF files published in the past years
matches. Prior to the 2005 match, a List of Unfilled programs was published as
a PDF file. If you open the file and go to the File->Document Properties,
here is what you are going to see:

days before the match)
