Share some funny Oxbridge interview stories.

Well, I know a story where an applicant was asked to prove that they could think on their feet. The interviewer threw a random object, like a pen, at them and said, 'Tell me five things about this pen in 30 seconds.' The applicant quickly said things like 'It's cylindrical, it has a clip, it's blue, it can write, and it's lightweight'. The spontaneity of the situation made it really funny.

One of my friends went to a college interview and was really nervous. He accidentally called the interviewer 'Mom' at the start. The interviewer just laughed and it broke the ice. My friend then relaxed and had a great interview.

Once, a candidate brought his pet parrot to the interview. The parrot kept interrupting by repeating 'Hello' and 'Pretty boy'. It was so unexpected that the interviewers couldn't stop laughing.

Sure. I once heard of an interview where the candidate accidentally sat on a whoopee cushion that was left on the chair by a prankster in the office before. The sudden noise made everyone laugh, but the candidate took it in good humor and said it was a unique welcome.

Sure. I once heard of a guy who went to an interview at a very fancy company. He was so nervous that when the interviewer asked him to introduce himself, he completely blanked and started talking about his cat's favorite toy instead of his work experience. It was really funny but also a bad move for the interview.

Sure. One time, the interviewee accidentally sat on a whoopee cushion that was left on the chair by a prankster in the office before the interview. The look on his face was priceless, and the whole interview panel had a hard time suppressing their laughter.

Sure. One of my friends went for an interview at a tech startup. The interviewer asked him if he could code while standing on one leg. My friend was so shocked but he managed to write a simple code while wobbling a bit. It was hilarious.

One success story could be that of Stephen Hawking. He studied at Cambridge and made revolutionary contributions to physics, especially in the fields of black holes and cosmology. His work not only advanced scientific knowledge but also inspired generations of students to pursue physics and study at Oxbridge.

Well, at another interview, a candidate was asked about a difficult medical case. Instead of answering seriously, he told a story about how his pet dog once had a similar - sounding problem and how he 'treated' it with some home remedies. The interviewers were both amused and impressed by his creativity and ability to think on his feet in a medical - related context.

A friend of mine went to an interview and accidentally sat in the wrong chair at the start. Everyone had a good laugh, and it actually broke the ice. He ended up getting the job too.
