who did come first hen or agg

Answer Posted / guest

The employer wants to see how you appraoch a problem. I
see many assumptions being made here (except speedcoder)
and these all give insight into your thought processes.

Frankly, if asked this question in an interview, I would
ask for clarification on data that can be taken as
tautological for the context of the problem. Are we
assuming there was a genesis-like creation? Are we
assuming that there was an evolutionary process? If we are
going with evolution, then at what point can we say the hen
and its precursor are different species? The first hen
would be born from an egg laid by its precursor species and
that hen would then go on to lay chicken-eggs, thus the
problem boils down to whether or not you want to
distinguish hens born from hen eggs or hens born from the
eggs of the precursor species.

However, much like speedcoder, I'd think twice about an
offer from such a company. Answering may divulge a
religious cosmology to which you hold (or don't) thus I
feel the question itself could be illegal in an interview.
