    I was interviewed for a position where lady handed me a pen and asked if it was a conductor.

    I replied: "if the voltage is high enough, yea. She scoffed. Needless to say, I didn’t get the job.

      Honestly I think you gave the experienced adult answer to what was a high school or even middle school science question.

      that just sounds like a weird interview.

      “you’re qualified for this position if, and only if, you can answer a useless question with only a rudimentary understanding of the subject and no critical thought”

      if true, you dodged a bullet

        Assuming that you can draw a triangle from any 3 lines, draw a triangle from lines of length 1, 2 and 3

          Isn’t that impossible, because let’s say you use 3 as the base, the only way 1 and 2 could connect is if they were at 0 angle.
