1 Like a summer day or standing close to a fireplace.

2. Because it is ripe.

3. If the line is busy how do you know it is not a wrong number?

Answer 2

Q1. How will you explain the color red to a born blind person?

open hand slap them in the center of the back as hard as i can...that is red.

Q2. Why is red tomato not a cold green tomato?

because a red tomato is red because of the chemical reaction that happens durring the growth process that we call ripening.

Q3. Why wrong numbers never get a busy line?

if you called and it was busy, then you would never know that it was a wrong number in the first place.

Q4. Why is banana catchup red?

ok really now WHO EATS THIS STUFF?

Answer 3

Q1. Watch the movie "Mask" (not to be confused with Jim Carrey's "The Mask") and it has some really intelligent ideas there.

Q2. The red tomato has ripened, so it isn't green anymore.

Q3. Wrong numbers result in busy lines. Happens to me lots. Usually I get a busy line if I dialled wrong. That's why I try again.

Q4. The tomatoes in the catchup/ketchup/catsup turn the condiment red.

Where on Earth were you interviewing at? What on Earth for? Sounds like the interview Will Smith had in "Men In Black"!

Answer 4

i will have to take a lighter to the persons hand and let them feel a little of the hot ness for the first one
i will give them a taste of the red tomatoe nice and heated up i am sure they will know the diff
i will explain to them that sometimes even a wrong number can get a busy line because remember there are many poor peo0ple with dial up still in this world who stay online for hours on end.
i will tell them the truth about a banana that it is really not really red it is actually green in its first stage and as it ripenss it becomes yellow and have them smell a daisy so they will associate that sweet smell with the color yellow.

Answer 5

1. I wouldn't. If pressed, I'd probably babble about it's being perceived as a warm, or even hot, color.

2. Huh?

3. You don't know that the number is wrong if you don't get an answer.

4. I have no idea, as I've never encountered it.

Whatever you were being interviewed for, you should pass. Whoever asked these has something wrong in the noggin.

Answer 6

1. It depends on what part of their visual system is dysfunctional. If it's just their eyes that don't work, I would tell them to press against their eyeballs and see if any sparks of color appear, which may or may not happen. If they see colors, tell them it's one of those. If they don't, tell them that it is impossible to explain. It's like trying to describe a smell to somebody.
2. Because it's ripe and it's not cold. I don't know the bio/chemical details of the ripening process.
3. Because if you dial the wrong number and you don't get anyone, you just try again without thinking about it. If someone picks up, it is very apparent to you that you dialed the wrong number. Also, most phone numbers are in use. If you dial a wrong number, you're just messing up or transposing one or two numbers, you're not dialing 999-9999 oops, wrong number.
4. Because no one wants to eat yellow ketchup.

Answer 7

Q1. Red is hot, fiery, exciting, bold, exuberent, dangerous, passionate. Can also denote anger.

Q2. Ripening?

Q3. Murphy's Law.

Q4. ?? If it is not naturally red, I guess they would use red dye as a marketing strategy?

I hope that the job for which you were interviewing DEMANDS a highly creative, logical, thoughtful and quick thinker. If not, I would think: drugs? a natural born nut?? Run for the hills!

Answer 8

1. like a hot stove.
2. Because it's not green nor cold.
3. Because for someone could say it's a wrong number, first it got to go through.
4. Now, this one I think you miss typing, or didn't remember the question right.

Answer 9

Q1. Never been good at these sort of questions. I guess i would say it is intense and reperesents fire, love, blood, ect.

Q2. Because it has red pigment and not green pigment?

Q3. Well if it's busy you don't know you dialed the wrong number.

Q4. Because they dye it red.

Answer 10

1. Some people say it's a hot or angry color.
2. Because it's older and the weather is nicer
3. Because it takes one to know one.
4. Because bananas can't do it alone.
