These items should be available at a local convenience store. You have eight minutes.

Using a telegraph machine and an onion router, find the supermodel and electronically order her an iced nonfat caramel macchiato (tall).

With Microsoft Excel, build a financial model to determine the total amount of money spent on security measures by everyone everywhere worldwide, and how effectively it’s being used.

Three-sigma accuracy is acceptable.

Using the following items…

– a Pizza Hut uniform- a Don Pepin Garcia Magnate cigar (lit)- a clipboard- and any Yo Gabba Gabba action figure…talk your way into the Pentagon.

Explain DLL hijacking to your CEO in PowerPoint.
