Chinese Judicial Exam Asks Lawyers Whom They'd Save First in a Fire: Their Moms or Girlfriends 

People entering careers as lawyers and judges in China are faced with an interesting moral quandary while taking the national judicial examination. On the exam, among questions about contract negotiations, lawsuits, and damages, test-takers are asked directly about who they would save in a fire, their mothers or their girlfriends.

“It’s a classic sticky question in China. And this year, it was a key part of China’s national judicial examination, posed to future lawyers and judges. Those who pass the test are allowed to practice law in China,” writes Celia Hatton of the BBC News.
