Good Puzzles/ Interview Questions

[bananabandana]

I'm applying to study an undergrad Physics course.

I have an (academic) interview coming up next week. Was wondering if anyone around here knew any physics based brain teasers that might come up? Would be much appreciated! :)

Ideally it would be less technical and more of a puzzle - they don't expect you to have learned 'extra' Physics, per se, but just to be very elegant in applying it to unfamiliar problems based on familiar material.

Thanks for all the help :)
