In an interesting study, a job interview question has been found to have the potential to detect liars and Tesla CEO Elon Musk has also been using this question.&nbsp;

In 2017, Musk said that he had posed the same interview question to all his candidates. The question is "Tell me about some of the most difficult problems you worked on and how you solved them."

He had claimed that this question helped him in catching the liars and now a study has backed his method.

The question falls under the 'Asymmetric Information Management' (AIM) interview technique which has been designed to provide interviewee with a way to demonstrate they are speaking the truth by telling in detail about their experience.

In the study, which was published in the Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition, different ways for spotting liars with the help of the job interviewing technique have been explained.

<h2>What answer determines if the candidate is telling the truth?</h2>

If the applicant answers the open-ended question of Musk with a specific and detailed response, it is most likely they are telling the truth.&nbsp;

"Small details are the lifeblood of forensic investigations and can provide investigators with facts to check and witnesses to question," said Cody Porter, who is one of the authors of the study, in an article.

"If they provide longer, more detailed statements about the event of interest, then the investigator will be better able to detect if they are telling the truth or lying. In contrast, liars wish to conceal their guilt," explained Porter.

"This means they are more likely to strategically withhold information in response to the AIM method. Their assumption here is that providing more information will make it easier for the investigator to detect their lie, so instead, they provide less information," she added.

The hiring process of Musk is very unique. He does not look for a college and even does not ask for a high school diploma, but he looks for "evidence of exceptional ability" while hiring new staff.&nbsp;

"If there's a track record of exceptional achievement, then it's likely that that will continue into the future," he said.&nbsp;

This is the reason why the same interview question is posed by Musk since it is easy to lie on a resume but it is difficult to create a detailed lie on the spot.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The Big Bash League 2022/23 is attracting a lot of eyeballs. In the game between Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat, a sensational, as well as a controversial moment, came forward when Michael Neser pulled off a catch outside the boundary line only for the umpire to give the marching orders to the batter. The incident took place during the run-chase where the Sixers were chasing a mammoth 225.&nbsp;

With 33 needed off the last 12 deliveries, the Sixers' hopes rested on&nbsp;Jordan Silk and Sean Abbott. Silk was well-set and started the penultimate over with a maximum. He went for another big hit, off&nbsp;Mark Steketee, to be caught in an unusual manner by Neser at long-off. While it looked like the ball would go for a six, Neser produced a moment of brilliance. He first caught the ball and as he was aware&nbsp;that his momentum was taking him past the boundary line, he looped the ball in the air and timed his jump to catch the ball for the second time while not touching the ground. Just before he was about to land on the ground, Neser once again threw the ball in the air outside the boundary line, came inside the ropes and completed the catch. Here's the viral video:

As a result, the catch made heads turn and spectators were left in awe of Neser's presence of mind. While many believed his efforts would go in vain and the umpire would give the batter another chance, he raised his fingers to send Silk packing. It turned out to be a game-changing moment as Brisbane held onto their nerves and won the high-scoring game by 20 runs.&nbsp;

However, the catch sparked a huge debate on social media platforms as many remain perplexed if the umpire made the right call eventually. While the decision will be debatable for quite some time, Neser has to be lauded for not looking out of control for any minute.&nbsp;

Meteor showers are usually liked by one and all. This weekend, catch the glimpse of the Eta Aquarids, which is one of the busiest meteor showers. &nbsp;

For watching the "shooting stars", just step outside and look at the night sky. &nbsp;

Reaching peak on May 6, the Eta Aquarids will put up a strong show in the coming days. It will reach around 30 meteors an hour, media reports said. &nbsp;&nbsp;

These meteors are also known for their speed. They can reach around 148,000 mph (just over 238,000 km/h) when they hit atmosphere, NASA said. &nbsp;

If you are close to the equator or in the Southern Hemisphere, the meteor shower will be visible clearly. Well, don’t fret if you are elsewhere as you can still see the meteors in the Northern Hemisphere, said Bill Cooke, lead, NASA's Meteoroid Environments Office (MEO) at the agency's Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama. &nbsp;

In a NASA post,&nbsp;Cooke said,&nbsp;"It will be interesting to see if the rates are low this year, or if we will get a spike in numbers before next year's forecast outburst."&nbsp;&nbsp;

These shooting stars seem to have originated from Halley's Comet (1P/Halley). It is a short-period comet, which comes by every 75 to 76 years. It swings through the inner solar system. &nbsp;&nbsp;

When it visits, it leaves behind a trail of dust grains, which Earth clears every May. Some debris, which hits our atmosphere, burn up before reaching us. &nbsp;&nbsp;
