I would paint "recruiting process" on it and bring it to my first meeting - so i can literally point out the elephant in the room...

Grumm16562yThey didn't say anything about renting it...
I would rent the elephant to some zoo for like 5$ a month. -
@netikras It surely isn't the answer that gets you the job. But it definitely is the correct answer if you are an actual developer applying for a developer position.
The purpose of the question probably is to assess your creative problem solving skills and/or general attitude towards stupid orders that make no sense (including red tape). But i highly doubt that even an experienced psychologist can correctly derive anything useful from the answers of an otherwise unknown person. That sort of questions is basically useless and mostly they get copied from books of authors which's sole means of income is to write useless books and sell em to stupid people... So might as well answer whatever you want and keep on searching. -
Jabb032382yI don't know what I would do about the elephant, but I would hide my peanut butter for sure!

Grumm16562y@Oktokolo Or maybe it is some kind of anti-spam filter ?
Any real person will respond with something related to the elephant. Bots aren't that clever.
(But maybe now with ChatGPT bots may understand this type of questions in the future) -
Grumm16562y@TheCommoner282 Or just call any animal-rights organisation and sue the hell out of the one who imported that elephant and give it to you.
