Today’s question is:

What is the largest consulting services company in the world? (Hint: It’s a private company, but it’s still a trick question).

I’ll update this post later today with the answer and let you know if any of us got the question right. If you have a question, submit it to mojotrivia@gmail.com. If it’s good, we’ll use it and credit you on the blog. Please let us know if you got it from another source.

Guess in the comments, and good luck.

Update:

IBM is the largest consulting services company in the world. IBM’s “Global Services” division has revenues of almost $50 billion, a sum that represents more than half of the giant multinational’s corporate revenue. Commenter Nicholas Beaudrot was first again, guessing the answer that no one in our DC bureau could come up with. Today’s New York Times has more on IBM’s consulting business.
