>The answer the google interviewers are looking for is jump out. It's a stupid interview question.
Jump out is just one proposed solution. Like all Google interview questions, the point was to see how someone solves an unfamiliar problem. They should break it into parts, gather information, and solve it systematically. For example, the infamous "How many tennis balls can fit into a plane?" question is the best known, but it's not a trivia question. The """correct""" answer is to show you could solve a problem like this by asking the right questions.
>What kind of plane is it? Does it need to fly, or are we just storing them? Main compartment only? Can you get me the measurements of a tennis ball and the cabin space? Can I remove seats?
The evaluation measures problem-solving skills. Some people immediately crack when asked to do something unfamiliar.
Though I think if the HR guy was a proper sizefag he'd at least ask
>You are the size of a nickel on a coworker's shoulder. They can't hear you or feel you at your current size. How do you get rescue without falling off?
Even better
>You are meeting someone for a date, but right before they arrive, you've been shrunk to the size of a nickel in your chair. You have fifteen minutes before they assume you stood them up and leave. How do you get their attention?
