Below are three stories about interview experiences, however, two of them are real and one is fake. Can you figure out which one is the lie?

Story #1: I flew from NY to LA to interview someone who asked me to stand there and wait in a hotel lobby so that she could finish the game of solitaire she was playing, because it looked like she was going to win.

Story #2: I was doing a phone interview and when I asked if the candidate had any questions for me. She replied, ‘You sound very attractive, I think we may have a connection. Would you please describe what you look like in detail?'

Story #3: I asked a candidate about their experience, they confidently claimed to have single-handedly built a rocket ship in their backyard. I was speechless.
