"Well, if it is 11:50, the hour hand will nearly be at the 12 o'clock position, whereas the minute hand will be stationed at the 11 o'clock position. I'm curious, in your experience, how do most people answer that question?"

Questions like these test your reaction time, and whether you put thought into your answer, or answer reflexively before knowing the answer. In a work environment where communication is key, an employee who answers important questions with an assumption, and not checking their work, especially when delivered with conviction, can sometimes be costly. Many who answer this question incorrectly claim both hands are on the 11. But this is incorrect. The minute hand will be on the 11, where the hour hand will not quite be on the 12 o'clock position. Take a brief pause before delivering your answer. Remain confident in your posture, while maintaining friendly eye contact.
