When answering market sizing/brainteaser questions, you are not generally expected to reach a final numerical answer that is particularly close (or equal) to the true value (although you must make<em>&nbsp;reasonable/rational</em> numerical estimations along the way). Ensure that you think out loud. Make the interviewer aware of your thought process and carefully explain all your assumptions and calculations throughout. And remember, these types of questions are also typically designed to test how well you react to unexpected questions under pressure.</span></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\">Note that the nature of market sizing/brainteaser questions can vary enormously. There is no way that you can possibly prepare for every type of question in advance. However, getting to grips with the different variables that exist in a variety of contexts can help you to develop your ability to think flexibly.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></p><p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\"><strong>Examples of questions you may be asked</strong></span></span></span></p><ol><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\">What is the size of the potential customer base of a dating website?</span></span></span></li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\">How many footballs could fill up Wembley Stadium?</span></span></span></li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\">How many leaves are there on a tree?</span></span></span></li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\">How heavy is the building we are sitting in?</span></span></span></li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\">How many shoes are sold in India every year?</span></span></span></li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\">How many cars are there on average at any one time in the UK every year?</span></span></span></li><li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif;\">How much is the Houses of Parliament worth?</span></span></span></li></ol></div>"
