"You've been given an elephant. You can't give it away or sell it. What would you do with the elephant?"
Tweeps were divided over the nature of the question. While some tried to proffer an answer they think is best appropriate for the question, others frowned at it and wondered the rationale behind such a question.

"That's literally amazing. I want to hug the creator of that question. Then immediately find and hug the boss of said creator for allowing that question on an application. I adore seeing bits of "Lost Boys" fun from adults. Our inner child needs to breathe daily!!"
