‘What happens if I drop an ant’? ‘What
books are bad for you’? ‘What percentage of the world’s water is
contained in a cow’? The Oxbridge undergraduate interviews are infamous
for their unique ways of assessing candidates, and from these peculiar
enquiries, professors can tell just how smart you really are. John
Farndon has collected together 75 of the most intriguing questions taken
from actual admission interviews and gives full answers to each, taking
the reader through the fascinating histories, philosophies, sciences
and arts that underlie each problem. This is a book for everyone who
likes to think they’re clever, or who thinks they’d like to be clever.
And cleverness is not just knowing stuff, it’s how laterally, deeply and
interestingly you can bend your brain. Guesstimating the population of
Croydon, for example, opens a chain of thought from which you can
predict the strength of a nuclear bomb …and that’s just the start of it.
