    Those types of creative thinking scenarios would probably create a lot of good dinner conversation around here! Looks very interesting, thanks for the info and chance to win!

    Lol that sure is a different book from the average! But I just can't believe they would really ask such a strange question.

    You have to take one of those surveys where I work, you know the kind--would you rather be a runner or on a basketball team.

    I'm not really sure that answering questions like this show how smart --- or creative --- a person is. Or identifies the best workers.
