I know a famous equivalent that has been used to hire a manager. The company back in the time was searching for a guy able to "think out of the box".

You'll find the answer on google in seconds if you search, so take a minute to think about it by yourself ^^

The question was simple : You are in the middle of nowhere, riding a two-seats car during a storm. Stopping to a stop sign, you see three people waiting at a bus stop. - the girl of your dreams - your best friend - an old granny on her way to die

What do you do?



Whats the goal here?

Regardless, I will ask my besfriend to drive my old granny to the hospital and stay at the bus stop with my dream girl in the middle of the storm.


Probably the same as when an employer asked my girlfriend if she was a virgin during an interview.

In french, virgin and virgo (zodiac sign) are the same word.

It puts yourself in situations you don't expect. You have to use your guts, and not your knowledge to answer those :)
