Tough question to answer during job interview

[sweet guy]

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?

# 4 I bought a bigger car and took all three!

 

[shinyam]

The old, lady, of course. Unless, when you say she's going to die, you don't mean that literally, and she's just a really old hag. In that case, it would be the perfect partner.

 

[sweet guy]

# 4 I bought a bigger car and took all three!

Sure you can BUT you basically are not allowed to buy a bigger car. In that situation you have to decide what to do with limitation and constraints.

 

[freakshow]

none of the them...keep driving fuck them

 

[sweet guy]

Where are the ladies? Any ladies want to give it a shot?

BTW, this question was asked to 2000 potential candidates for an "entry-level" position of a big corporation. Out of the 2000 candidates only one could answer this question. This candidate got the words, "You're hired!"

 

[ballgame]

I don't offer a ride to any of them, because I will be late for work.

1.) The Old Lady - leave her there. She'll be dead soon, so why prolong the inevitable.

2.) The Old Friend - leave him there also. What are the chances of him saving your life again ?

3.) The Perfect Partner - I'll give her a ride for sure !!!

 

[sweet guy]

Hmm, let me give you a hint. There is NO bus service because of the severe weather and neither of the three know that situation. You know that situation when you listen to the car radio.

Again, what are you going to do?

 

[big dogie]

Hey it's all about me......... we are talking perfect right

3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

#2
old ladies live forever up to their 100's now
no such thing as the perfect partner
what kind of job interview was this ?

 

[The Bandit]

I've heard this one before...can't remember the answer.

Time for some out of the box thinking folks. Stay with the perfect partner, give your car to your friend to take the old lady to the hospital and have him send someone back to pick up you and the perfect partner.

 

[ceo8888ca]

How about this ?

Stop and tell them your wife is waiting for you to pick her up to go to the Hospital for child delivery and therefore cannot take any one of them..

Assure them that the bus is coming soon and that you will try to contact them (bus company) to verify that...

Heartless enough ??

Seriously, no!!

Get out and let the old friend drive the old lady away in your car. You can then have the partner (let's not say which gender) to yourself for further intercourse (understanding, I mean) and anything that might happen next while you two are soaking wet since you know the bus is not coming...

Maybe ??

I hate riddles... don't have the patience for 'em!

I'm dying to know the answer!!!

This is the answer... I've read this riddle before...

I expect more than 2 dudes giving the correct answers but in any case you are right on!

Again, what are you going to do?

I was always taught never to pick up hitchhikers / strangers.. so I would just pick up the old friend.

 

[Jade4u]

Assuming the perfect partner was male. Why can I not have the old friend drive and sit on the perfect partners lap in the passenger seat. Then he could drive himself home once he gets out my perfect partner can be dropped at either my house or his and then I can go back get the old lady to the hospital and in the mean time he could have a nice bubble bath with candles ready.

 

[HafDun]

Thats easy
You give your car to #2 & let him/her take the old lady & you stay with the perfect partner. What's a little stormy weather?
