Heh, I thought my team was the only one that made this kind of thing before interviews. This one's got much better content than ours though; thanks for sharing!

For those like me who are curious what the RNG missed, here's the data list:

Are you suggesting that this is in some sense the answer to all the questions?

It probably would at least have the distinction of being an answer that pg/YCombinator had never heard before...

Where's the rocket science here?

He applies next round and gets an interview. He surreptitiously brings a boom box. When asked what it’s for, he says “please, hold your questions till the end of the interview”. After all of the questions have been asked and answered, he slams play and rips off his shirt to reveal that he’s been covered in strawberry Pop-Tarts and rainbow Spandex the whole time.

Verily, this is the hacker equivalent of professionalism.
