Yes, but it was a hypothetical situation. :haha:
They knew the answer they were looking for, and very few people actually had the resolve they sought. It wasn't the only question in the interview process, just as there was no one, true answer.
I think you worry too much. You're fired. :p |

well whatever, i'm just saying that their hypothetical correct answer is flawed. and there a plenty guys that don't know how to drive stick.

| see most of these questions are in Mensa quizes, so that's how I know most of them. Thing is.. i don't think these are cromulent questions to test your IQ, more or less they are filler questions to test your keeness or sharpness. |
