Popular Post Stevo985 Posted January 8, 2014 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2014 There's a guy in my office who's a bit strange. Top bloke, nice guy, but a bit weird. His mindset is a bit like Karl Pilkington. Really English, moans a lot, stuck in the past, that kind of thing. Let's call him Dave, because that's his name. Aaaaanyway, before christmas he developed a bit of an obsession with a rubik's cube someone had bought him. He brought it in and tried to solve it. Other people in the office tried to solve it. Obviously nobody got anywhere close. I tried and failed miserably. What I didn't tell this guy, was that I can do rubik's cubes and I was just pretending to be shit at them. So one day just before christmas, I was working late, nobody was in the office, so I completed his rubik's cube and left it on his desk. To my delight, the conclusion he came to after he asked around the office and couldn't find the person who'd solved it, was that one of the cleaners must have done it, and be some sort of closet genius. Christmas came and went. My first day back in the office was yesterday. Now Dave organises a christmas quiz in our office every year on the last day before everyone breaks up. I always miss it because I'm always off before xmas, but I understand people like it and it's pretty challenging. Anyway, I was thrilled when he showed me a piece of paper yesterday. On it were all the questions that he'd compiled for the quiz but had rejected on the basis that they were too hard. There were 37 of them. I counted (the actual quiz has 60 questions I think). He asked me a few, most I couldn't answer, nor could most people. I came to the only conclusion possible, I worked late. And by worked late I mean I waited until everyone went home, took this sheet of paper from his desk and spent 45 minutes googling the answer to every single question and then scribbled them on this sheet as if I'd done it in a rush. I got one or two tactically incorrect, but always along the right lines. Put the paper back on his desk and went home. This morning, success. My plan has come together perfectly. He's made the connection that I was dying for him to make. The person who answered these questions MUST be the same person who solved the rubik's cube. Now he's super excited and is telling everyone that there's some sort of Good Will Hunting working as a cleaner at JLR and he's determined to find out who it is! So now I need to figure out a way to keep the theory going... So yeah, that's amused me for the morning. These are the kind of things I have to do in this place to keep me sane. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 That is brilliant Stevo. Truely fantastic. I got given one for xmas and have launched the **** across the room several times. Buggered if I know what to do. Even googling the solutions make little or no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 8, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 8, 2014 It's even better because he suggested that maybe whoever had done it had googled them, but someone pointed out that you can't use any of the computers here without logging on, and a cleaner wouldn't have a username and password. So there's no way it could have been googled! He's so excited 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
