An Interview with Socram by Randoman38
Socram was pulled over for speeding on the freeway. When the officer noticed bombs in the back of his car, he was arrested.
It is now your job to interview Socram. Manipulate his emotions so that he will tell you things he wouldn't otherwise. Probe deeper into his mind, and find out what exactly he was up to.

EDIT: It worked when I `cd`'d into the same directory as the jar and ran java there :thumbsup:
Some friends I had play it had the same problem, actually. I've never had problems like this before, but we got it to work by re-installing the Java RE and the JDK. If that doesn't work, I'm sorry I can't be more helpful. I'm looking into it more myself, because I'd like to prevent this from being a running issue.

nix-shell -p openjdk16
```
My nixpkgs was at 20.09 (jdk16 is relatively new)
Then `java -jar Interview.jar` will work
