Interviewer: "What's 2+2?"

Candidate with suspiciously thick rimmed glasses: [pauses for a second] "That's a great question! First, we should define addition and the concept of numbers, but since you asked a direct question it's likely you just need the answer. The answer to 2+2 should be 5. Thinking is that starting on two and progressing over the number line three more times will land on four. Would you like me to show you how to make a generic method of addiction?"

(You should probably use "Text" mode: URLs will be mostly recognized and linked, _underscore quoted_ text is looked up in a glossary, _underscore quoted_ (http://xyz.pdq) becomes a link, without the link in the parenthesis it becomes a <cite> tag. All <cite>ed text will point to the Flutterby knowledge base.

Comment policy

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
