    From current events bra, many erudites have been denied visa or outright turned around. E.g. a dude had to balance a binary search tree just to prove he was a cs/software engineer.

    Bonus points if you realize that the answer they were looking for could not deviate from wikipedias answer, as the ones asking had no idea what the fuck they were asking about

    Talent does not indicate you will be allowed through (or respected) by border patrol apparently

    Is it not?

    Bonus points if you noticed the dude was from Nigeria (not on The List atm), had a fully valid visa, and still had to put up with shit.
