Here is some of the clever questions and innovative answers that happened in an interview
Question 1:
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, it’s raining
heavily, when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people
waiting for a bus:
An old lady who looks as if she is about to die. An old friend who once
saved your life. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that
there could only be one passenger in your car?
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. Guess what was 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."
Question 2:
What will you do if I run away with your sister?"
The candidate who was selected answered " I will not get a better match
for my sister than you sir"
Question 3:
Interviewer (to a student girl candidate) – What is one morning you woke
up & found that you were pregnant.
Girl – I will be very excited and take an off, to celebrate with my
husband.
Normally an unmarried girl will be shocked to hear this, but she managed
it well. Why I should think it in the wrong way, she said later when
asked
Question 4:
Interviewer: He ordered a cup of coffee for the candidate. Coffee
arrived kept before the candidate, then he asked what is before you?
Candidate: Instantly replied "Tea"
He got selected.
You know how and why did he say "TEA" when he knows very well that
coffee was kept before.
(Answer: The question was "What is before you (U – alphabet)
Reply was "TEA" ( T – alphabet)
Alphabet "T" was before Alphabet "U"
Question 5:
The interviewer asked to the candidate "This is your last question of
the interview. Please tell me the exact position of the
center of this table where u have kept your files."
Candidate confidently put one of his finger at some point at the table
and told that this was the central point at the table. Interviewer asked
how did u get to know that this being the central point of this table,
then he answers quickly that sir u r not likely to ask any more
question, as it was the last question that u promised to ask.
And hence, he was selected as because of his quick-wittedness.

VERY INTERESTING QUESTION AND ANSWER OF BIRBAL:-)
Emperor Akbar once ruled over India. He was a wise and intelligent ruler, and he had in his court the Nine Gems, his nine advisors, who were each known for a particular skill. One of these Gems was Birbal, known for his wit and wisdom. The story below is one of the examples of his wit. Do you have it in you to find out the answer?
One day a scholar came to the court of Emperor Akbar and challenged Birbal to answer his questions and thus prove that he was as clever as people said he was.
He asked Birbal: “Would you prefer to answer a hundred easy questions or just a single difficult one?”
Both the emperor and Birbal had had a difficult day and were impatient to leave.
“Ask me one difficult question,” said Birbal.
“Well, then tell me,” said the man, “which came first into the world, the chicken or the egg?”
“The chicken,” replied Birbal, very confidently.
“How do you know?” asked the scholar, a note of triumph in his voice.
What did Birbal answer to this?
Answer
Birbal told the scholar, “We had agreed you would ask only one question and you have already asked it” and he and the emperor walked away leaving the scholar gaping!
