It's Day 5, where all the work we've put in hinges on our ten-minute pitch. This strange Geek Idol contest gets underway in fifteen minutes. We're on second, at 10:20am. We worked until nearly eleven last night, until our brains turned to cheese and started oozing out of our ears. In retrospect, maybe staying up till 1:30am playing Petals Of The Rose in the bar might not have been such a good idea...... but we had to unwind somehow.
It took about an hour and a half for people to get it, which appears to be about average. I love playing this game, purely to see other people going through the same process that I went through when I was "inducted", for the same sipmle pleasure of pitting your brain against a problem andn seeing which gives way first. So remember - if you know the answer, or you work it out - DON'T tell anyone else, just let it be known by giving correct answers, and next time you are in a gathering of geeks who need to unwind, you know what to do....
