The questions were all very standard mgr interview except for the math portion. For that they asked a series progression question, (find formula for doubling a value each iteration), and then they asked how a person with ancient greek level of technology could computer the distance from the earth to the moon. They wanted an actual answer and to be successful it had to be within 5x of the actual value.
