Summary	A wonderful collection of oddly brilliant questions and answers taken from the infamously challenging Oxbridge interviews.'What happens if I drop an ant?' 'What books are bad for you?' 'What percentage of the world's water icontained in a cow?'The Oxbridge undergraduate interviews are infamous for their unique ways of assessing candidates,and from these peculiar enquiries, professors can tell just how smart you really are. Cambridge-educated John Farndon has collected together 75 of the most intriguing questions taken from actual admission interviews and gives full answers to each, taking the reader through the fascinating histories, philosophies, sciences and arts that underlie each problem.
