Quote from Kevin Schmit:
I don't think this is possible with six sided cubes unless you allow six and nine to show in the same face, which would be cheating as digits, qua digits, have orientation.
I also see little connection between any of these questions and trading ability.
More of a trick to allow the interviewer to feel smarter than the interviewee, IMHO.

Bingo. And I agree that the nature of such questions are silly for trading interviews.
But often, they are asked of entry level technical positions just to see how the interviewee approaches the problem.
One way to leave an impression is simply turn the tables on the interviewer and ask him a very difficult question that seems like someone knowledgeable in the field would understand. Most interviewers usually ask if there are any questions from you, and that is your chance to pounce. I've had many a few interviewees impress me that way=) I've also dazzled many interviewers that way.
Ask something like, "so what type of robust statistical methods have you found useful in analyzing data; and what are some practical examples where you've used them." Memorize and understand that concept fully, then, regardless of his response (which will likely be shock), turn around and say, "well, I've ran some simulations on blah blah, and found that median statistics are better in that case because blah blah." Or what do you think of Engle's dynamic conditional correlation?
I was reading some papers and blah, blah.
In this manner, you are taking control of
the interview, and showing assertiveness with the ability to impress them with your knowledge.
Hi,
I agreed with you. Your points of view make me thinking about some thing for my project.
