Two people are each stuck on their own island, connected by a ferryman with a lockable box. Each person has their own lock and key, but can't send the key along with the box. One person wants to send the other a diamond, but it must be placed into the box and locked or it will be stolen by the ferryman. How do you send the diamond without the ferryman stealing it?

General behavior questions, like why you want to work in Japan. Why did you study computer science, etc. Barely any technical question, as the interviewers have already checked my website and experiences, and know I have extensively experience and projects under my belt, and is probably more competitive than their full-time engineers.
