The questions where very low level JAVA language questions. Questions like what is the Super class of all classes in JAVA. How does the class loader work. What are the different drivers in JDBC (he did want to know about JAVA JDBC Connectors so I do not know what he was referring to). The questions where mostly like this. Things that I never heard anyone else ask before on a JAVA interview.

One of the questions was asked by Ahmed Bashir, who (I later learned) was a Director level and the manager of the hiring manager. The question was as follows. You are given 25 horses. In each race only up to 5 horses can run and each race only reveals the ranking between the horses (i.e., we do not know the actual time). What is the minimum number of races you need to have in order to reveal the 3 fastest horses between the 25.
