Ok.....how about an IT Geek's version of the Olympic Games ?
Event 1 : Hardcore C# Programming
The contestant has to write 101 lines of non-recursive and syntatically-correct code that will produce a tangible and measurable benefit to humankind. They must do this whilst they are naked and covered in honey inside a large barrel of red ants.
Event 2 : Coffee-a-thon
The contestants must go without coffee for 24 hours, and try to stay awake in a PM meeting to discuss "Operational Requirements" for a new system
Event 3 : Agent-Baiting
Each contestant will be scrutinised by a panel of recruitment consultants, who are attempting to solicit more business from the contestant. The contestant who successfully gets the agents eating shards of glass out of his hands, whilst giving nothing away to the agents will be deemed the winner.
Event 4 : Tape-Changing Dexterity
The contestant will enter an arena where there are 400 servers in various states of backup completion. They must take an ejected tape from a server once it ejects within 10 seconds and run to the media library in the middle of the arena and correctly label and file the tape away.
Event 5 : Social Skills
This event has been cancelled due to lack of qualified contestantsOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
