#2Basically, he's saying you don't do enough interviews to get good at them.
That's not really news, since I've heard so many people say to do more interviews just to get the practice.
And if you've somehow escaped hearing that, let me fix that:
Do more interviews! The practice will make you better at future interviews. Even if you don't really want the job, take an interview. The more you do, the better you'll be at them.

That is not what the article is saying at all.
His main point is that you need to practice the things that you know are going to trip you up in an interview. Do some preparation. Don't wing it.

#5Just make sure you can solve this puzzle:
A hundred prisoners are each locked in a room with three pirates, one of whom will walk the plank in the morning. Each prisoner has 10 bottles of wine, one of which has been poisoned; and each pirate has 12 coins, one of which is counterfeit and weighs either more or less than a genuine coin. In the room is a single switch, which the prisoner may either leave as it is, or flip. Before being led into the rooms, the prisoners are all made to wear either a red hat or a blue hat; they can see all the other prisoners' hats, but not their own. Meanwhile, a six-digit prime number of monkeys multiply until their digits reverse, then all have to get across a river using a canoe that can hold at most two monkeys at a time. But half the monkeys always lie and the other half always tell the truth. Given that the Nth prisoner knows that one of the monkeys doesn't know that a pirate doesn't know the product of two numbers between 1 and 100 without knowing that the N+1th prisoner has flipped the switch in his room or not after having determined which bottle of wine was poisoned and what color his hat is, what is the solution to this puzzle?
