You have a scale and 8 balls, and one ball is lighter than others. How many time at least you have to scale out the lighter one?
A 10*10*10 cube has red color over its serface. If it's smashed into 1000 small cubes, how many have no color on?

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Chicago, IL (took 4+ weeks)
Scheduling the interview took forever-- 30 days between the initial phone interview and the day at CTC. Interview process was extremely thorough-- intelligence test, case study, 4 back-to-back interviews, multiple presentations, etc. Lots of probability brainteasers. You get to see the CBOE floor. Their new offices are excellent, and it seems to be a great company to work for.

Interviewed Feb 2008 in Chicago, IL (took 3 weeks)
Mostly quantitative questions. You will have to go over your resume, do a lot of mental math in your head - division, multiplication, etc. but with large numbers; solve number problems. Do not need to have a background in finance or trading - just need to show you're intelligent. Ask a lot of questions.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
First a 2 on 1 on-campus interview. A couple of brainteasers and a couple of questions about my background. After that they flew me over to Chicago for a full day. First visit their trading floor and the exchance, then some sort of IQ test with mental arithmetics and "complete the sequence" kind of questions. Then a case study involving probability (using Excel). After that a presentation with the heads of education (Natenberg) about what the firm does and what their education program is about. Then lunch with a couple of traders. After lunch 4 one-on-one half hour interviews back to back.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Chicago, IL (took 2 weeks)
Interviewed first time through the university career center. 30 minute interview - first twenty were personality stuff and why trading. Last ten minutes were oral conceptual math questions, kind of on-the-spot quick thinking stuff. Was invited to HQ with two other candidates to tour and meet the education team (absolute top notch) and traders/risk managers. In the morning was a math and computing test and afternoon was four interviews with traders, risk manager, and HR.
Overall very well done. Strong company with great opportunities to learn to trade. They're looking for a blend of trader with some programming skills or interest.
