For International Women’s Day, Mindspace asked 22 people to solve the following riddle and recorded their responses:
A father is about to bring his son to a job interview, applying to work at a large stock trading company. The son is incredibly nervous… In the car during their drive over they hardly speak… Just when arriving at the parking lot of the company the son receives a phone call. He looks up at this father, who says: ‘’Go ahead, pick it up.’’ The caller is the CEO of the stock trading company, who says: ‘’Good luck son…you’ve got this.’’ The boy hangs up the phone and again looks at his father, who is still sitting next to him in the car.
How is this possible? No, really… take a minute and think about it. Alright! Final answer? ˙ɹǝɥʇoɯ s,uos ǝɥʇ sı OƎƆ ǝɥ⊥
