man, it's not that complex to work out and all in all a pretty lazy tease. there's tons of better (though famous) ones.
the fact you were so eager to tell everyone before too many people posted was a fair indicator. glad you were beaten.
i have a great one but i'd have to draw bits out first and stuff so i'll post it tomorrow.

The friend will think something's up and the lady will KNOW something's up and none of this will work out the way you want unless you have mind control powers, and if you do you can make the interviewer eat his own shoes with chocolate sauce.

Here's my answer:
Me: I've got a 5 seater, so I'd pick them all up.
Smug interviewer: No, it's a 2 seater car.
Me: You said, my car.
Slightly less smug interviewer: Okay, lets say for the sake of the scenario, that you have just bought a 2 seater car and are driving it.
Me: Alright. My best friend doesn't have a driving licence and isn't insured to drive my car. As I know this, if I gave him my car to drive, let alone put him in a position where he felt morally obliged to drive it quickly (to save someone's life) I could probably be charged with contributive negligence when he inevitably put the thing on its roof, thereby killing the old woman. I don't think the excuse, "but I did it to pick up a hot chick" would wash with most judges, either.
I also wouldn't buy a 2 seater car, unless it was a weekend toy superlight like a Caterham or Ariel Atom. And if it was one of those I was driving, I wouldn't be on the sort of roads that have bus stops. I also, doubt the old dear would be able to get in something so low and cramped and I certainly wouldn't trust my mate to drive one of those.
I think you'd be shooting yourself in the foot regarding the hot chick too. A bus pass isn't as effective a way of impressing a woman as a 2 seater car: chicks dig impractical, ragtop, garishly coloured, underpowered, mid-life crisis mobiles.
Considerably less smug interviewer: You pwn. The job's yours.
-----------------------------------------
As an aside, I'm suprised no one has turned the situation into a version of "The Aristocrats" joke.

You're right, I think in my last interview, my answering the question, "You say you're a good written communicator, have you got any evidence of that?" by producing an essay that (amongst other things) criticised the behaviour of agencies such as his, probably didn't help. I didn't realise what I'd done till after I'd left the building and by that stage I thought going back and asking if I could give him a different article would be worse than chancing that he didn't bother to read that far.
I think that cocked it up, as we seemed to be getting along really well and he said that I had the most experienced and was most technically competent of the candidates they'd interviewed (and I was the last one interviewed). I genuinely had been expecting an offer letter, but I got a rejection one the next day so I can only assume he didn't like what he read. Up until then, I'd never failed to get a job following an interview.
I think this is probably because my attitude now is that if I have to bite my tongue in a place, I probably won't be happy working there, so it's best I don't get the job. Whereas, when I was younger, I was more prepared not to ask awkward questions of interviewers, so I probably came across as more "positive". Still, I'm going to be looking for a new job soon, so I'd best learn to lie with a straight face again for a few months at least.

Just because the woman is older and dying don't mean she can't be my friend/woman of my dreams. They is the same person I'd say.

Another flaw, how the hell can you see that it's the woman of your dreams from her apperance?
Realistically, the situation would end with me hollering at the chick i love, and then she refuses to go with me. I then drive home depressed, and let the old woman die in my best friends arms.
Also, it's gay to rate your friends. "best friend". If you have a best friend, you also have a worst friend. What a load of crap.

Oh, I forgot to clarify- the article, didn't just slate agencies like theirs, it actually, through an anecdote (although it didn't specifically name them, it was pretty obvious it refered to them) it talked about them in particular.
Bit of a mad coincidence as they were a couple hundred miles away from where the article was written and the incident discussed took place and at the time, I didn't realise the place I was being interviewed had anything to do with the organisation I discussed in the article. As it happens, they were a sister company and the chap running it used to be at the original company and was present (although not named) in the events described.
I didn't actually find this last bit out until 6 months later. Certainly made things a bit clearer!

i don't know if anyone else already said this, but the question is misleading:
the question is "who do you give a ride?" which implies that you've got to give one person a ride, and that not giving anyone a ride and instead taking the bus with one of them is not a possibility.
i guess that's why they ask it at job interviews - to see if you're willing to think "outside the box", but to be honest, i think that's bollocks. in a job interview situation, you're won't have time to think the full thing through thoroughly, and even if you did get the right answer in your head, would you dare defy the restrictions imposed by the question?

No one has mentioned the possibility that they had just got off a bus. It doesn't state they were waiting for anything hence none of them may require a lift.

If the old woman was about to die you could pull over, rape the girl then fuck the old womans corpse while letting your mate watch. That way everyone is happy.

the old woman wouldnt care. she's dead. you could always tie the girl to the back of your car and continue on your way, safe in the knowledge that by the time you got to your destination she wouldnt be very pissed off either.
although they might come back to haunt you

No offense but you are a bit of a stupid prick.
For the question to be answered 'correctly' you have to make the following assumptions:
1) Your car has only got two seats. 2) Your friend is capable of driving but instead chooses to take a bus.
3) You were just driving aimlessly without a destination or you didn't have to reach somewhere urgently.
4) They wanted a lift. 5) They were waiting for a bus and not just got off one.
Another flaw is the question of how you are repaying a favour to your friend by getting him to drive an old woman to hospital while you try to get a shag off a bird at the bus stop.
If I got the job based on the 'correct' answer I'd turn in late on the first day and use the stupid fucking thing as my excuse.
