At a job interview, they asked, “If someone was born in 1925, how old are they now?” I was stunned when they didn’t accept “100” as the correct answer… because. the interviewer smiled and said gently, “They might not be alive anymore—but the real question is: how would you find the right answer if they were?” I realized then that they weren’t testing my math—they were testing my mindset. They wanted to see if I would assume facts or take the time to verify them. They were looking for someone who asks questions like, “Is the person still alive?” “When is their birthday?” “What’s the current year?” rather than jumping to a quick conclusion.
