Before you sit there scratching your head and wondering if you've entered the interviewing Twilight Zone, realize that it's becoming more and more common for interviewers to ask these kinds of brainteaser questions.

Why in the world are they using brainteasers in interviews? Because they're looking to get a feel for how you process information - how well you work through a problem.

Employers want to see that you're smart and can reason through real-world business problems and come up with solutions.

You might want to practice some brainteaser questions before the interview so you'll be prepared if one comes up. You can even do this while enjoying a snack. Before you pop that handful of M&Ms into your mouth, ask yourself: "How would I make these round candy treats with chocolate on the inside and a coating on the outside?"

Hmmm.
