Thanks for the help guys



There's likely no one answer that is correct. It's probably less a riddle and more of a cognitive/critical thinking exercise. Kind of like a Rorschach test.

It has to be something related to your job. I would say something like "I could sell the shite out of either" if they asked me that question.

Was told to have an answer when I come back for my follow up. Any ideas?


Tell the dude that he shouldn't be in a position to hire people if he can't tell the difference between the two.

It's really just a tool they use to find your online presence. They ask you an asinine question, you ask your internet friends for help with said question, they google the question and find this Tigerdroppings page (and your post history). Might want to start deleting things...

Yep. Its one thing if this is for a college internship, but it's another if this is an organization you want to have a career in.
