an accountant applies for the position of chief financial officer.<\/p>\n

there are a number of candidates and he is called in for an interview.<\/p>\n

they ask him a number of questions and one of the panel suddenly says \u201cwhat is eight times five?\u201d<\/p>\n

he thinks quickly and says \u201cforty.\u201d<\/p>\n

when the interview is over he goes outside, takes out his calculator and finds the correct answer is not forty. he thinks, \u201cwell, i blew that,\u201d and goes home very disappointed.<\/p>\n

next day he gets a call and is told he got the job. \u201cwonderful,\u201d he says, \u201cbut what about eight times five? my answer wasn\u2019t right.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cwe know, but of all the candidates you came the closest.\u201d<\/p>\n
