    Interviewer: There are 500 bricks on a plane.
    You drop one outside. How many are left?
    Applicant: That's easy, 499

    Interviewer: What are the three steps to put an elephant into a fridge?
    Applicant: Open the fridge.
    Put the elephant in.
    Close the fridge.

    Interviewer: What are the four steps to put a deer into the fridge?
    Applicant: Open the fridge.
    Take the elephant out.
    Put the deer in.
    Close the fridge.

    Interviewer: It's lion's birthday,
    all the animals are there except one, why?
    Applicant: Because the deer is in the fridge.

    Interviewer: How does an old woman cross a swamp filled with crocodiles?
    Applicant: She just crosses it
    because the crocodiles are at the lion's birthday.

    Interviewer: Last question.
    In the end the old lady still died, Why?

    Applicant: Err....I guess she drowned?
    Interviewer: No! She was hit by the brick. You may leave now

    Now that was a good show of a battle of wits. or rather it was a verbal game of chess where the applicant got checkmated in the end.

    Here is how you can tackle the interviewer: ( a very feeble attempt).

    applicant : since i was putting the deer in the fridge, i couldn't have been on the
    plane.

    since i wasn't on the plane, i couldn't have dropped the brick.

    since no one dropped the brick, the old lady did not die by being hit by the brick .

    To which i would i would say : "the plane can only have a fridge in it, but it cannot have a jungle, elephant, lion, deer and other animals in it".
