What are the most interesting funny Oxbridge interview stories you know?
I've heard of an Oxbridge interview where the interviewer started the interview by asking the candidate if they believed in aliens. The candidate, without hesitation, said yes and then proceeded to tell a long, elaborate story about how they once thought they saw a UFO as a child. The interviewer was so entertained that they spent the next few minutes discussing the possibility of extraterrestrial life instead of the normal academic topics. This unexpected turn of events made it a really interesting and funny interview story.
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 story I heard was that a candidate was asked about the number of grains of sand on a beach. Instead of panicking, the candidate humorously replied that it was the same number as the stars in the sky that the interviewer couldn't count either. And they both had a good laugh.

One of the most interesting teacher interview stories I've heard was about a teacher who showed up to the interview in a very unique costume.

The interviewers were initially shocked but then very impressed by his confidence and his ability to think outside the box. It really made them consider how he could bring that same creativity to the classroom.
