A comment on I had to give a wrong answer to get the job (2017). Parent comment
A vendor offers you season tickets to the Cubs games. Are you allowed to accept?
1) Yes, because neither of you are in the baseball business.
2) No, not under any circumstances.
3) Yes, if you give the tickets to someone else, such as your brother-in-law.
The "right answer" was quite obvious, making it more of an intelligence test than an ethics test.
