“I tried to feed all of the homeless people, but decided that I had failed when they only wanted cash, not food from me.”

“I made a fantastic product for my previous company, but we couldn’t get funded because I wouldn’t lie to the investors about the safety risks, so my firm failed.”

One of the “Jeopardy!” contestants this week was once asked in an interview what kind of tree he’d be and why, and he said he picked oak, because then he’d have strong limbs to beat the interviewer for asking that question. He didn’t get the job, but he got me to laugh.

The stuff of nightmares. I feel for any FReepers in the professional world who have to do these song and dance routines for a job. Just point me in the direction of the cafeteria kitchen, I’ll wash dishes or scrub the floors. Just please spare me the hellish interviews, lol.

Actually, I got a little snarky on that one and after asking a few qualifiers, I said....”as many as it would take to get to ‘this one doesn’t fit’ minus one.”

WildHighlander57 - LOL - All standard sized golf-balls fit into a 747. The question does not ask “what is the exact number” but rather how many “would fit into” and not necessarily “at the same time.” I would point that out and then add your answer.

OK, so there are some gopher** holes, which allow some golf balls to escape....

now the question becomes, at what flow rate are the balls escaping, and at what rate are they being fed into the aircraft....

** “caddyshack” reference :D
