I honestly can't say any hotel I've been to has hot water as soon as I turn the tap on; however I do remember one of them having a hot-water shutoff under the sink so I'm guessing that it either has one of those elements that heats water as you use it, or each room has its own hot water reservoir. |

Better heaters closer to the faucet.  |

| Cellar Dweller gets it--his answer with the water loop is the closest answer to what I had in mind. At a hotel, if hot water is always in use, then you will have hot water anywhere. Think about it at home, after someone takes a shower, if you use the shower immedately after (don't have to be the same shower), you'll have hot water. Idea is the same in a hotel, if something is always using it, like a the water loop, then hot water will always be present NSNick - 2 points Cellar Dweller - 1 point Next question: Which is the best direction to unlock the driver side door of a car? Should one turn the key clock wise or counter-clockwise? |

| That depends on the car... my last car, I turned it counter-clockwise; my current car, I turn it clockwise. | |||

| This question is completely opinionated, and therfore bogus. My answer is counter-clockwise. |

| one thing I'm not sure people are keeping in mind is that these are styles of questions Microsoft actually will ask in a job interview so would you really give short answers without explaination? Note, if you don't want to imagine interviewing for Microsoft, then think about a company you'd like to work for since these are legitamate questions to use |

| Well really, the best way to turn a key to unlock a driver's side door is whatever direction unlocks the door on the car you're unlocking. | |||

| Yeah, it's completely car-dependent. Note that for my family's cars, I believe counter-clockwise unlocks both of them. | |||

| OK, I believe the best way to unlock the drivers side door is counterclockwise, then the lock on the passenger side would unlock clockwise, that way the two key locks and the buttons that unlock the doors are all going towards the front of the car. | |||

| I always do it clockwise because I'm right-handed. If that doesn't work (which I've never seen), turn it the other way. Though the only car I've actually owned is a total wreck that isn't street-legal, so I don't bother locking it. It's sitting in the middle of a huge chunk of private property and completely worthless, even if someone did take it for some reason, I could care less.  |

| I would have to say the best way would be clockwise, as most drivers are right-handed, and will be standing facing the lock with their left hand on the handle. The easiest way to turn your right wrist would be clockwise. | |||

| Answer: It doesn't matter when designing a car, this isn't on the list of high priorities. Therefore, it could go either way--you just have to pick. Thus the purpose of this question is could you defend and/or justify why you made that decision (which in reality is a meaningless decision). Many people would answer this question via ergonomics and that's alright but you earn points with microsoft if you can talk a lot on this... so...the person with the best answer is...Jagori, because it halfway to being out of the box like the answer. Points NSNick - 2 points Cellar Dweller - 1 point Jagori - 1 Next Question: A train leaves LA for NY (Train F) at 15mph and a train leaves NY for LA (Train Q) at 10mph. Suppose there is only one set of railroad tracks between LA and NY, thus eventually, both trains will collide. Now, suppose a bird flies 15 mph route that matches the path of the railroad tracks and it leaves initially from LA. When it reaches Train Q, it immediately reverses direction it was flying and it files towards Train F. Once it meets Train F, it reverses direction until it sees Train Q, and reverses again and continues to do this until the trains collide. The question is, "How far as the bird travelled?" |

| The bird will only get as far as train F did. It's travelling at the same speed at Train F, and will thus "Reach Train Q" at the same time as Train F crashes into it. | |||

| He has travelled a long way. For one bird to travel from LA to NY by itself is a great feat in itself, but non stop flying that far is amazing as well. So the bird travelled roughly 1370 miles. |
