*** I WILL NOT TELL ANYONE THE ANSWER TILL 24 HOURS FROM THE TIME OF THE FIRST REPLY *** Please stop sending me PMs...

A company was hiring new staff. One question in the written exam was:

You are driving your car in a wild stormy night. You pass by a bus station, and you see three people waiting for the bus:
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
A doctor who had once saved your life.
A man/woman you have been dreaming to be with.
You can only take one passenger in your car. Which one will you choose? Please explain your answer.

Think about it before answering.

The candidate who was eventually hired (out of 200 applicants) did not have to explain his answer. WHAT DID HE SAY?

Note: There isn't really a WRONG answer, however, this is a PERSONALITY test and shows your judgement. NOONE EXPLAINED THEIR ANSWER YET! :|!!!

Looks as if this was already posted... sorry :/

 

[tim0thy]

And if you read this before and know the answer, don't give it away... I'll post the answer 24 hours from now. Enjoy!

 

[pulpp]

ahh, take all three of them one at a time.

 

[Imaginer]

The woman because the doctor can save the old lady's life if she was really in danger.

 

[Aves]

It seems pretty obvious to me, but I could be wrong. We'll see.

 

[monk3y]

The doctor can take care of the old lady that's dying...

Take the person of your dreams

 

[Soybomb]

What crazy person would let the wet people in to ruin their upholstry?

 

[Platypus]

There is probably some stupid answer for this, so its pointless to guess.

 

[frizzlefry]

ummm..... why would you just take one at a time? why not take all of them at once?

-edit- DOH! hehehe, had to reread. I think I would either choose the person of my dreams or jsut drive on

 

[HansHurt]

Give the van to the Dr. so he can take the old lady to the hospital

Stay w/ the woman, and she will be impressed by your kindness.







EDIT- nothing like the edit reply function

 

[tim0thy]

you can only take one because you drive a sportscar ok?! or a yugo or whatever... just stay within the confines of the given please!

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

I would take the person I was dreaming to be with simply because the doctor, if he was a real doctor, would turn around and help the lady who was dying.

<< It seems pretty obvious to me, but I could be wrong. We'll see. >>

PM me... I'll let you know if that's what that guy wrote...

 

[Doctorweir]

I'd just pass...hey, this people are waiting for the bus, so leave them alone...
Perhaps they already payed for it...lol

 

[Bomberboy]

He Said:

Theres a $100 bill under the table. Thanks for your time.

 

[khc200]

i take myself in my car (1 passenger) and they take the bus as they planned.

 

[67gt500]

[tim0thy]

Oh yeah... there are no WRONG answers... this is a PERSONALITY test and to see judgement.

 

[tim0thy]

I'm getting slash... I mean Anandtech'ed with PMs!!!

 

[yobarman]

gahy this was asked like a day ago...

you give up the car for the doctor and the old lady. Then you're off with the man or woman of your dreams.

 

[khc200]

what if they can't drive?

 

[tim0thy]

Hey, I didn't see that thread and I did several searches... WELP...

 

[yobarman]

[khc200]

i ain't walking in no wild stormy night... you saw twister bro? ain't gonna mess with that sssssssheeet....

 

[somethingwitty]

I'd take the old lady...the doctor would understand, since he's in the business of saving lives, and I would toss my phone number to the woman of my dreams (always helps to keep your number on a piece of paper, to quickly hand it off)
