It involves two coffee makers. One is filled but not on, while the other has about a cup of coffee left. The candidate is sent to get a cup of coffee...

And the test is to see if they are a team player and turn in the other machine or are selfish, self absorbed, and anti social and just walk away so the next dev has to waste 10 mins waiting for it to brew, be kaye for a meeting costing the company 100s or just being grumpy for the rest of the morning?
