I was reading an article on yahoo! about tough interview questions.  Most of them are tricky, and to be honest some are obscure such as:

"Estimate the market size of IVF treatment in Sweden." -- For a management consulting position.

Or:

"What is the revenue of an inner city Sydney gym?" -- For an associate consultant position.

Some involved simple math including:

I have gotten a few questions about what "the law of economics is".  Unfortunately I don't even know the answer to this question.  I think because there is no answer to this question.  Here was my answer to the person asking this question:

Hi, I got your question the other day and I would like to clarify what you are asking.

Lets consider first Weiner's behavior to decide to commit this act in the first place.  Economists believe that individuals are rational meaning that they act in their own best judgement to maximize their utility.  So lets think about this, Weiner decided it was in his best interest to
