A trap in reasoning or an argument, which a sensible person wouldn't fall into. There are a lot of interview questions like this that you might need to cunningly sidestep. Keep your wits about you!

During a visit to Africa, you find yourself being pursued by a local tribe. In a desperate attempt to hide, you stumble upon a group of elephants and decide to seek refuge by climbing into the female elephant's reproductive tract. However, while inside, the female elephant is mounted by a male elephant. The mating process occurs, with the male elephant ejaculating inside. Just as you think it's over, another male elephant approaches and repeats the process multiple times. The situation becomes overwhelming as there is an excessive amount of elephant semen. Eventually, the ordeal comes to an end and you manage to escape.
