(a) just keep it the way it is.

(b) Change the formula.

(c) Set fire to your own hair.

2. You are a major defense contractor, and you are building a gun for the Army that is supposed to be able to shoot down enemy planes. So far the taxpayers have paid you nearly $2 billion for it, and all your tests indicate that the only way it would have any negative effect on an enemy plane is if you could somehow sneak into the cockpit and manually whack the pilot over the head with it. How should you deal with this problem?

(a) You should try really hard to do a better job.

(b) You should tell the Defense Department that they probably should get another contractor.

(c) You should refund at least some of the taxpayers’ money.

3. You are a major automobile manufacturer. You have been losing sales to cars from other nations, particularly Japan, because their cars tend to be fuel efficient, technologically advanced, and extremely well made, whereas the most innovative concept you have come up with in the past two decades is the opera window. You should:

(a) Have Congress pass a law restricting Japanese imports, so consumers will have no choice but to buy your cars.

(b) Have Congress pass a law making it legal for you to kidnap consumers’ children and not return them until the consumers buy your cars.

(c) Have Congress pass a law ordering the United States Army to barge directly into consumers’ homes and take their money at gunpoint and give it to you.

(d) Remind everybody a lot about Pearl Harbor.

4. You are in charge of a large department, and you have an opening for a supervisor. The two obviously best-qualified candidates are women who have worked in the department for the same amount of time. Both are intelligent, highly competent, and respected by the other employees. In every way they seem equally qualified, although it happens that one of them is black. What decision do you make?
