No-Hiring somebody after they get one wrong answer is ridiculous. A wrong answer during an interview and how it's followed up on is one of the most telling parts of the whole process.
If you want to hire people that are good at taking tests then by all means require every answer to be correct. If you want people that understand themselves enough to recover and think critically about their own mistakes then treat a wrong answer as what it is: being a human being in a stressful situation.
edit: also any company that still asks "brain teaser" questions in 2011 should not be one that you consider working for.

- gnosis 15y agoA reversion on Wikipedia doesn't necessarily indicate that the reverted edit was wrong. Wikipedia is a highly politicized and point-of-view pushing place, so it's quite common for edits get reverted by others who simply have a different opinion or a contrary agenda.
