Interview Question...
« on: June 26, 2010, 08:32:44 PM »
Explosions...

Things blowing up?
-or
Things getting blown up?


I asked an interviewee this question for a programmer position.  He got the job.  What would you have said?  I'm curious to hear the answers...

Maybe a trick question, but I would say things blowing up, things being blown up would be a proper application of Explosives or not as the case may be.

What would you have said? 

"Are we still holding Richmond?"


"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg

  ROFLMAO   ;D

It's a matter of semantics, Graphically he probably wants "things exploding" ( doors blowing off, that sort of thing ), the actual mechanics of it are things (chemical compounds) exploding

Neither......technically!

An explosion is nothing but expanding gases causing a shock wave and higher temperature.  Nothing need be "blown up" for an explosion to occur.

Does a tree falling alone in the woods make a sound?
