Had a phone interview today.

Fairly standard C++ object orientation questions - how would you model physical attributes of a person -  leading up to a "how would you model gender?", where they were fishing for the answer that there would be two separate classes with different attributes.   Momentarily shocked into silence,  I was.  It's, um, probably just something they ask everyone.

That sounds dodgy as fuck.

Not really. Test questions tend to be overly simplistic. A class for a human body would probably assume two arms and two legs with no option for less for instance. It's just the first thing they think of.

Argh on so many levels.
