As a webmaster, do you really tend to 'think outside the box'?
 

You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you
pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only
be one passenger in your car? Think before you continue reading.

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

-You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you
should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this
would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up
with his answer.
He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him
take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait
for the bus with the partner of my dreams."

Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought
limitations.
Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

HOWEVER..., the correct answer of course is to run the old lady over and put her out
of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner on
the hood of the car, then drive off with the old friend for a few beers.

.......God, I just love happy endings :D

Yep, I should have put something more cerebral like "(pic)" and "would you hit it" in the title, for the benefit of the thinkers of simpler thoughts.

I should know better. ha ha

Well that assumes the friend wants to take the old lady to the hospital... and actually doesnt answer the question since it asks who you want to give a ride to, not how to get the best results from the situation.

agree with Detoxed

thinking outside the box and aswering a specific question are two different things.

if the question was phrased differently (e.g.: what would you...instead of who would you take).......then i could have got the same answer.

That's all I see when you type now.

Tried to figure it out .. I've already heard that one but I didn't remember :) good answer lol .

This would be a good question to ask employes

I like this... very nice man. I admit I couldn't think of the answer to this one but. :)

thats why it's usually called thiking outside the square -
not thinking outside the square with the corners rounded off you you :glugglug

I picked #3.
Great trick question :)
