Credit: @millionairestutor Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer used an interesting method to evaluate candidates during interviews. One of his go-to questions was a simple but tricky puzzle: “I’m thinking of a number between 1 and 100. You can guess, and I’ll tell you if you’re high or low. After each guess, the reward decreases, and eventually, you might owe me if it takes too long. Do you want to play?” At first glance, this seems like a simple game of chance, but it’s actually designed to assess the candidate’s risk analysis, decision-making, and understanding of probability. The real lesson here is not just about picking the right number, but about stepping back and realizing that, statistically, you are more likely to lose money than win. It’s a test of how well you think strategically and evaluate risk—qualities vital for success in any business. Ballmer’s question pushes candidates to think beyond the obvious and consider whether engaging in the game is worth the potential loss, a lesson applicable to entrepreneurship and investing as well. The key takeaway? Sometimes, the smartest move is knowing when not to play. Follow @millionairestutor for daily insights like these!
