Two young men applied for an engineering job. Both applicants, having the same qualifications, were asked to take a test by the department manager.
Upon completion of the test, they missed only one question.
The manager went up to one of the guys and said,
"Thank you for your interest, but we've decided to give the job to the other applicant."
The engineer said,
"But why, we both got nine questions right?"
The manager said,
"We made our decision not on the correct answers, but on the one you missed."
The engineer asked,
"And how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?"
The manager replied, "Simple, the other engineer put down on question number five, 'I don't know,' you put down, 'neither do I'."
