A pilot is flying a small, single-engine, charter plane with a couple of really important execs on board into Seattle airport. There is fog so thick that visibility is 40 feet, and his instruments are out. He circles looking for a landmark and after an hour, he is low on fuel and his passengers are very nervous. At last, through a small opening in the fog he sees a tall building with one guy working alone on the fifth floor.

Circling, the pilot banks and shouts through his open window: "Where am I?" The solitary office worker replies: "You’’re in an airplane." The pilot executes a swift 275 degree turn and executes a perfect blind landing on the airport’’s runway five miles away. Just as the plane stops, the engines cough and die from lack of fuel. The stunned passengers ask the pilot how he did it.

"Simple," replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100％ correct but absolutely useless; therefore, that must be Microsoft’’s support office and from there the airport is three minutes away on a course of 87 degrees."

一位驾驶员正开一架单引擎的小飞机，载着几位高层管理人员飞往西雅图机场，可是空中布满浓雾，能见度不到10英尺，而且机上的仪表也坏了。他只好盘旋寻找地标。差不多过了一个小时，燃油眼看就要耗尽，机上乘客紧张万分。透过浓雾的间隙，驾驶员终于看到一座高楼，在那儿的五楼还有一个人在孤零零的埋头工作。

驾驶员飞近大楼，放下窗玻璃，冲着那人高喊：“喂! 我在什么地方啊？”孤单的职员回答道：“你在飞机里。”飞行员升起窗玻璃，做了个275度转弯，紧跟着一个漂亮的盲着陆动作，停在了五英里外的机场跑道上。也就在这一刻，飞机引擎烧尽最后一滴燃油停止了转动。机上的乘客觉得驾驶员神了。有一个问他怎么知道的。

“很简单，”驾驶员回答道。“他给我的回答百分之百正确，但丝毫用处也没有。因此那里一定是微软的技术支持部。从那里到机场距离5英里，方位87度。还有问题吗？”
