Why are manhole covers round?

Thomas Nguyen, a Microsoft Student Ambassador, passed along a good site with interview questions.  How Would You Move Mount Fuji? by William Poundstone is a good book if you are interested in Microsoft style puzzle questions.  How do you prepare for interviews?

The now out of print book PC Roadkill by Michael Hyman has this question and a few others. It also contains a boatload af amusing anecdotes and is a definite must-have for every programmer.

Just be careful using "How Would You Move Mount Fuji?" as a definitive resource on MS interviews. It was much more true in the late 90s than it is today. I wrote a review of it recently: http://blogs.msdn.com/jobsblog/archive/2004/11/18/266012.aspx
