I guess this one is a little more simple. You do the following:

- stop the car and get out
- ask the friend who saved your life to take the old lady to the
hospital and then park your car at home
- wait with the person of your dreams at the bus stop for the bus and
get to work chatting them up, and eventually the bus will turn up

Yet another mental gymnast question that a colleague had to answer for a
recent interview. They didn't get the job, but did learn the answer for
the applicant who was offered the position. My friend couldn't really
figure out what this had to do w/ technical writing, but we surmised
that maybe it was to determine how much of a team player one really is
and how you solve really difficult situations so that everybody can be
satisfied (if that really is ever possible).

You are driving on a dark, rainy, stormy night and as you drive by a bus
stop you notice three people - an elderly woman who needs to go the
hospital immediately, an old friend you once saved your life (literally)
and the love of your life - the person for whom you have always been
waiting. Your car, however, can hold only one other person. What do you
do?

I will give a hint - the applicant who was offered the position managed
to accomodate everyone in this scenario - all three people as well as
him/herself.
