Google used to ask these interview questions, but they're so tricky they were banned

There can be strange interview questions that seem to have no answers, and standards that will knock candidates out of the race right off the starting line.
Google used to be a big example of this, with high standards and head-scratching questions.
In fact, some of Google's questions were so bizarre, they were eventually banned from being asked altogether.
In 2009, Seattle job coach Lewis Lin put together a list of 140 questions his clients were asked by Google. We've picked out 17 of the wildest.
Future Google employees should be grateful these questions are no longer on the table.
