The most unexpected question I had was "How many quarters would you have to stack to reach the top of the Empire State Building?" I told him I honestly didn't know, but then I took out my phone and googled the height of the Empire, the height of a quarter on it's side, and then divided the one by the other. He was looking for how I would handle a question about something I didn't know about, whether I would try to figure it out for myself, ask him the answer, or just admit to not knowing. I figured it out for myself, and he admitted that I was the first person to actually look it up. It was probably the most fun in an interview I have had in a long time.
