So today I took an hour long skills assessment quiz online. It was 40 questions and it took about an hour. They were mostly programming and logic questions. The test is just another thing in a long line of hoops I've jumped through to get this programmers interview and possible training spot. Guess what question appeared? The million dollar boxes logic question! If it sounds familiar you may recall a breakfast at Ihop. Do read Q below:
You are applying for a programming job with a company that wants to test your logic skills. The interviewer presents you with five boxes labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. One of the boxes contains an employment contract. Each box has a card with a clue written on it. The interviewer gives you one hint – "at least one of the notes are false". Which box contains an employment contract?
Box 1 – “Employment contract is inside!”
Box 2 – “Employment contract is inside!”
Box 3 – “Employment contract is not inside.”
Box 4 – “Employment contract is not inside.”
Box 5 – “Employment contract is inside Box 3.”

This blog documents my job search process. I find it to be analogous to being a game show contestant complete with decisions, excitement, guesswork, hoops to jump, games to play, gambles, disappointments, showcase showdowns, and $64,000 questions, etc.
