I would stand in the center of the blades(the little circle), and when they start, I would jump. When I land, I would jump again as soon as possible. I would repeat until it ends(if at all!). :)

lie down?

Now jerk face has a nickel sized man in his head. I can see part of his brain and start to tear away. He lashes out in agony and eventually dies. As he hits the floor, I crawl out and play hop-scotch on his iPhone, calling Dr. Wayne Szalinski, to see if he still has that toddler enlarging ray.

10 seconds left, I climb onto one of the blades that’s pointing upwards, and begin to attempt my hail mary plan. He hits the switch, and just as the blades start spinning I jump up and am propelled by the momentum of the blades, and go rocketing towards his face. I latch on to his mustache (because all bad guys have facial hair, look at Hitler and that guy from die hard) and start crawling up his nose.

Now my adrenaline is really flowing, I try to make a few attempts at jumping out, but I can only make it about 3/4’s of the way up. 25 seconds left, I’m totally peaking on adrenaline, and this bastard is laughing his ass off. Screaming at the top of my lungs, I taunt the bastard to look me in the eye when he hits the switch, instead of looking through glass with the lid on, like a pansy.

First I check to see if I can detach the blades from the blender, if not then I check which way they spin. Now I think about ducking under the blades, but this prick just shrunk me, and will probably just add water after he sees me hiding under the blades. Now I’m really pissed, I try screaming but to no avail, the only one who can hear me is the son-of-a-bitch who put me in this predicament.

well i would say get up from your sleep and stop your dream in 60secs before u see yourself die :P

i would use my fabulous negotiation skills to convince the d bag that shrunk me that there are way better uses for such an amazing power… like making money—-not blending people. duh

I’d duck

I think blades come out sometimes so that you can clean them. So try popping them out.

Since it’s a Google interview i would answer “google a solution”. Or, I would lie underneath and wait.. lying on top of the blades would make you dizzy and the centrifugal forces would win in the end….

Climb out of the blender within 59 seconds.

Must you even bother trying to follow our most natural instinct (to survive)? Will the blades ever stop?

I promise this was not my first answer.

Sit down with arms and legs tucked inin the middle of the blades (ontop). Center of gravity would be so low that u would just spin. The further from the center u r the faster u spin, vice versa the closer to the center you are the slower you spin. Next time you go to a playground get on one of those carousel rides and get someone to spin you, then you’ll see I’m right and feel like a jack ass for doubting me.

I’d wet my palms a bit with saliva and spiderman my way out of the blender walls.

lie down under the blades and hope some one lets me out

I jump outside…

Being that, apparently, it is physically possible to be shrunk. I’d use this same faulty logic, to regrow back to original size. And the blender would shatter. =)

Well, the whole experience would be so traumatizing that I’d probably lose control of my bodily functions. This is just what I needed!

My teeny tiny bladder would produce enough liquid to make a single tiny droplet, which would be of substantial size to me. At this size liquid would also have tremendous surface tension. I would then wet my hands and feet, and climb out, hopefully before the blades start up!

Even a slight difference in balance is going to pull you right off that center of axis. Below the blades is no good since the resulting vortex will probably pull you up anyway. I’d wrap myself around the forward edge of one of the blades (which aren’t really that sharp anyway) and try not to get swung out toward the blade’s end.

@ig0r: I guess yours might be the best… beggars can’t be choosers haha.

Give up and die.
