1 Question to see how SMART/STUPID C5 owners are.
1 Question to see how SMART/STUPID C5 owners are.
I need a 2nd car in my household. Wife takes the car to work now... Anyways I needed to hire a receptionist, and I came up with a couple questions for them on paper. I had around 40 applicants and every single applicant got the question wrong. It was a very simple math problem. I'm going to base my next car purchase on how SMART/STUPID the owners of that car model are. I already own a C5 but was considering a 2nd one, but will change my decision based on my research. The question was: Quickly in your mind compute: What is 20% off $70? Just do it faithfully in your mind and post your answer. I will post the correct answer and WHY in a few days. Please do not post why!

ummm, so if I just copy the guy who already answered the question does that make me smart or stupid?
either way, I agree that 20% of $70 is $14, therefore, 20% off of $70 is indeed $56
me smort? or stoopit?
the smart: I have, at last count, 220 earned college credit hours in such diverse subjects as electromagnetic fields, complex variables, organic chemistry and statics (not a typo).
the stupid: none of those 220 earned college credits adds up to an actual degree. Most people with this many credits are referred to as "Doctor"

The tricky part where your applicants got thrown off was one tiny word. So I wouldn't say they are stupid just didn't pay attention.
Did you ask them the question or did you write it down and they had to read it? That makes a big difference!
Otherwise 02A6Beau did a very good write up to the answer you are seeking

Most put $14, some put $10, some put $50. The girl I hired told me that my answer was wrong. But then I calmly explained it to her... Bad grammar??? U serious? Perhaps, bad brain....
