Depth of Talent – Engineering Joke

Sam was fresh out of engineering school and went to a interview for a good paying job. The company boss asked various questions about him and his education, but then asked him, “What is three times seven?”

“22,” Sam replied.

After he left, he double-checked it on his calculator and realized he wouldn’t get the job. About two weeks later, he got a letter that said he was hired for the job!

He was happy to get the job but also curious. So,the next day, he went in and asked why he got the job, even though he got such a simple question wrong.

The boss shrugged and said, “Well, you were the closest.”
