I agree with you and Angel. Books like this do push more and more quant
interviewers into coming up with weird questions. On the other hand,
speaking from my own first-hand experience, there're some questions that
always show up.

But... the most important point is, you're not supposed to memorize the
questions and solutions! You're supposed to study how to approach the
solution -- from analyzing what's being asked to coming up with a
methodology to finally having a good answer.

Ask any of your friends who want to get into management consulting -- they'
ll probably end up reading 3 or 4 thick case-question books! The truth is,
high-paying industries like finance are getting more and more competitive --
esp. when the job market isn't good -- so in a sense, every bit of help can
be valuable.

This is just my 2 cents. I'm not here to sell the book, but I do think
Xinfeng has done a good job.
