Unless they're discriminating against a protected class, which people over the age of 40 happen to be.

That just means it's illegal.

Yes; you started at 10, and had a computer growing up to practice on.

So pretty much everyone in the US who owned a computer was on in the inside.

Wouldn't the answer be 127 of them? You're passing the one behind you as you get on at the bottom, and the one in front of you as you get on at the top.

I well my view if you walk to the base of the lift half on the chairs are on the up side leg half on the down you get on the one right at the bottom. so you pass all the chairs on the downward leg

Actually this is a simplification as the chairs slow down and bunch up at the bottom and top to make getting on and of simpler

Yeah, this is the problem with the question that I noticed as well.

If you don't know what a ski lift is (grew up in the south and didn't have money for vacations as a kid), you might not even know how ski lifts work. In which case maybe you guess that the chairs are fixed and give the 127 answer. Ironically, you guessed wrong and got the correct answer.

If you do know how ski lifts work and assume the interview does as well, then you just look like an idiot.

I guess the lesson is to state all your assumptions (and also, don't ask these questions).

I once worked for a telecommunications company that used condom brands for internal server host names. Makes me wonder if there are any other major companies that use somewhat inappropriate names for their non-client-facing equipment.

I think in this context, they are defining "hack" as "access computer system without authorization".
