Explain

RULE: "There is a question before you, and it requires one answer"
EXAM: 80 minutes
ON EXAM PAPER: "Question 1. [blank]"
QUESTION: "Any questions?"
ANSWER: "No." (there is no question on the exam paper)
VERDICT: You win the job.

The exam requires listening skill, attention to details, logic, clarity, compassion, resourcefulness and steady nerve. Those skills are important, because there will be people from all walks of life, demanding to have the scientist's newest discovery by any necessary means. How they behave will resemble what happened in the exam room - fighting, deceit, desperation, bribery, lies, murder, bullying, etc. With this in mind, the company needs an administrator who can handle people of all types and manners, from poor to powerfully rich and from the pitiful to the nastiest.

Other candidates failed because they didn't do what the blonde did: She didn't jump in with the in-fighting. Didn't try to sacrifice anyone to improve her odds. Tried to hold some back when they went too far. Compassionate enough to help White. Resourceful enough to use her hair pin to get the pill. Observant enough to spot a pair of glasses. And so on. Unlike her, those candidates have allowed their self-serving needs to take over - greed, selfishness, deceit, cowardice, etc. They only cared about themselves. So she wins the job.

I hope all this makes sense.
