C is indeed the correct answer.

Why?

Of the four accounts, the information in the correct answer is confirmed by at least two other witnesses. most of you understood the question.

Im running under the assumption if you answer 1 correct (w/o guessing) you should get them all, so those of you who answered it correctly "should" get 15/15 =).

Now for fun i am goin to post another one, this one was not answered correctly by any of the applicants. It's a series of 4 questions based on one set of facts.

Question 5

You are incharge of deploying personal to ensure that all floors of an 8 story apartment building are guarded by one officer. Five officers are already in the building named Jessop, Laramy, Josifovic, Branton, and Lee. Jessop has reported that he has the floor directly above Lee covered, The officer on the second floor reported that everything was in order but the first floor was not guarded. You know that laramy was one story above Josifovic. Branton has the top floor covered and says he saw Jessop covering the floor Two below him.

Based on the facts above, Who is Covering The fourth floor?

A) Josifovic

B) Laramy

C) Lee

D) No one

Question 6

Based on the same facts as above, What floor does Josifovic have covered?

A) 2

B) 3

C) 4

D) 5

Question 7

Based on the same facts as above, What floors are currently not guarded that you have to assign personnel to?

A) 1,2,7

B) 1,3,6

C) 1,4,7

D) 1,5,7

Question 8

Based on the same facts as above, Which two officers have floors three and five covered?

A) Lee & Jessop

B) Lee & Laramy

C) Laramy & Jessop

D)Josifovic & Jessop

This question is part of the logic section.

I used process of elimination and logic to find the most likely answer. 

I eliminated two off the bat because of logistical problems.  It's pretty odd to find a 150 lb dude that is 6'2".  They'd be a total string bean.  Not only that, but hispanic & caucasian hair doesn't have texture that lends itself to dreadlocks (although it's possible--I do live in Portland so I have seen plenty of white people with dreads).  So that makes A unlikely.

Next I eliminated D, because it would be very difficult to see a tatoo on the forearm when the person is wearing a track suit.  There are plenty of short sleeved track suits and/or sweaters, but most of them are long-sleeved.  I suppose you could have the sleeves pushed up, but it would still be a stretch.  This means D is less likely.

Next, between B and C, if you re-arrange the descriptive items, they are almost identical except for the main difference of the hair.  They both describe that the man is wearing a red hooded sweater, but again most likely I think people actually don't wear the hood up.  Maybe if they were committing a crime though, the hood WOULD be up?  Otherwise, you'd only wear it if it was cold or wet or something.  If the hood was down, the difference in the hair would be obvious.  But if the hood was UP, it would be very difficult to discern a crew cut from another style, but dreads would be obvious.

At this point I am leaning toward C, so I want to go back through the answers again to double check.  I should note it actually took me a while to figure out the structure of this question; it didn't occur to me until later on that essentially it's a "what if you got 4 different descriptions of the same suspect, which would be the closest to reality?".  Now that I'm operating on this assumption, I am going to look for commonalities between the 4 descriptions.  Three votes for height at 6'2", three votes for weight at 210 lbs, three votes dreadlocks, all say male, 3 say black, 3 say pierced nose, 3 say baggy blue jeans, and 3 say red sweater with a hood (I will also note that the off one specifies green, and if I wanted to go out on a limb I could speculate it was because of color blindness). 

This confirms that C is indeed the best description.

Your all wrong. The answer is DNE. No guy would get their nose pierced :P

C because:

• It has the most information in line with the others.
• Almost thought it was A unti I realized there aren't many 6'2" dudes running around that weigh 150lbs. 
• It can't be D if he's wearing a tracksuit and a sweater (you wouldn't see the arm tattoo)
• It can't be B because the others have all reported dreadlocks

e. 45 year old business exec making 500+k/year trying to make more money. White, married with 2 kids. No outstanding mortgage or car loans. Just finished paying off student loans and greedy as hell.

Ok, humor aside (satire if you will) once again we are seeing an issue where most of the suspects given are minorities.

The most likely answer after working it out will be C. It shares the most information in common with the other answers and makes the most sense. Dreadlocks would be "visible" even if the hood was up on a sweatshirt as would be the pierced nose.

That being said, you are probably on the lookout (if this was in practice) of someone between the heights of 5'11"-6'3" weighing roughly 190-220 pounds.

However even once you include the pierced nose and dreadlocks, at least around where I live you are gonna be rounding up an awful lot of people.

i;m goin with c,
