Apple ‘best brain balance’ recruitment question: ‘62 -63 = 1 ’, just move one digit, make the above math correct

Apple is one of the most prestigious corporations in the world. Therefore, having a working position here is not easy. Usually, Apple asks hiring questions that are both technical (based on a candidate’s past experience) and put together some trick quizzes to test their reaction.

If you are interviewed to become an employee at Apple retail stores, you will have to answer a lot of questions about how to deal with an unhappy customer.

Business Insider has compiled a series of recruiting questions that candidates interviewed at Apple shared on Glassdoor. These are considered the most “difficult” questions that the corporation raises to evaluate candidates.

To become an Apple employee, you must undergo a round of “brainstorming” interviews.

Among them, there is a question that many people are interested in:

“62 – 63 = 1; move only one digit, make this calculation correct” – Question for Software Development Engineer candidate. And the answer is to convert the number 62 to 2 ⁶ (2 to 6 = 64), subtracting 63 to make 1.
