- zellyn 12y agoDisagree: it's a terrible question. The answer (all of them) is something you either see or don't, and neither tells you much more than one bit of information about the candidate.

- CocaKoala 12y agoI'm not convinced; it at least tells you if the interviewee will rush to an answer that appears correct and say "All of them", or if they'll consider it a little more carefully and say "The rest of them". Or if they'll ask for a strict definition of what it means to pass a chair on the way up, to clarify whether or not you count the chair that you're riding on as one that you pass.
