How bright are you?

The recruitment team at Accenture has come up with a novel way of identifying bright sparks. A game called Lights, Camera, Action in which you have to turn on the lights in a grid. If you're a graduate you can enter the competition and win prizes. If, like me, you'd just like to reassure yourself that you can complete a simple task designed for would-be management consultants, then give it a go.

And no, I haven't managed to do it yet!

Posting that when you know I am meant to be working is completely unfair, Carol. How do you expect me to hit any deadlines when I am clicking silly lights?
Obviously I wouldn't think they were silly if I could get the damn things right. It's not helped by the knowledge that I know someone who is bound to get it in about 10 seconds.

I'd call it research. I have no idea what Accenture think of it, though.
