Pre-Result Discussion
I'm not suggesting this question is hypothetical, but I feel it necessary to point out that this is not me.... at least not yet, anyway.
Analysis:
Well, as I mentioned in my note, this was not a hypothetical question, it did indeed relate to my brother who accidentally spilt water during an interview. The good news is that he did get the job so hearty congratulations to him. I'm going to apply the same tactic and take a water pistol with me to my next interview.
