Who's in Charge?
Published Nov 09, 2002
Scott and Peter had applied for jobs at a large company and had to take an intelligence test. They each found the test a breeze, except that they admitted to being momentarily stumped by the final question: "Name a 14 letter word for someone in charge of a plant."
"How did you answer that last one?" asked Scott. "I was a bit puzzled at first, but then I thought of Superintendent."
"I think I got it right too," said Pete, "but I wrote down Horticulturist."
