IdriveGTP Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 When my friend was in the Air Force, they used that same story to see how different people thought - my friend was the only one to give the answer of giving the keys up - I don't remember what the test was used to find out about a person, but they said that very few people ever get it right.
