It can be a bit heartless to give to a nervous interviewee but bewarned... a guy I met was actually asked this! You have to travel from town A. to town B. The distance between the two towns is 2 miles. If you drive 30 mph for the first mile, how fast do you have to drive the second mile in order to average 60 mph? It can be tricky if you don't think about it. Tom Hill
