<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>At a BBQ on Saturday, a good friend of mine asked this question to everyone gathered. I decided to answer last, not because I was positive I knew how to answer, but I had answered similar questions on Job interviews.
As you are driving your 2 seater car along a windey stretch of highway during a thunderstorm, you see three people at a bus stop ahead of you. One is an elderly lady who looks in need of medical attention, one is an old friend who once saved your life, and one looks like the woman/man of your dreams. Whom do you pick up?</div>

Call a cab for my friend and the old lady, it should take about 2-3 minutes tops,

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Eric did indeed get the 'right' answer. It's the type of question some employers ask to see if you can think outside the box. That's my mind on any given day though.</div>

Depends on the job I guess. I was interviewing for a Logistics dept for one, and a teaching job for the other.

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>The teaching job especially encouraged creative teaching methods. Mainly because the kids were not enthusiastic at all. Also, it was a Native-Canadian School in the N.W.T. where if you're willing to go, they want you.
For example, I came up with the idea of a integrated Hockey pool for my 6 Math pupils so that we could use different addition/subtraction/muli-X/Division problems in a situation they could relate to. I had them create comic books for english, grammar counted, and various other ideas. Those were the most successful though.</div>
