AMALTHEA

[ you're ushered into a tiny break room, which is SURPRISINGLY WELL LIT! There's some chairs, a single table, fountain pens and inkwells, and a box of (stale) donuts. ]

[ on the table is a single sheet of paper, with the following questions:


TEAM NAME (if made up of multiple teams, choose a new one):

1.) What would you say your skills, as a team are?

2.) How would you define suffering?

3.) How far are you willing to go to achieve victory?

4.) Where do you see yourselves in five years?

5.) What are your team's weaknesses?

6.) What accomplishment are you most proud of?

7.) Tell me about a time you made a mistake.

8.) If you saw another employee stealing from the company, what would you do?

9.) Describe your team.

10.) What motivates you?

11.) What makes you uncomfortable?

12.) Can you say: 'Peter Pepper Picked a Pickled Pepper' and cross-sell a washing machine at the same time?

13.) If I came to your house for dinner, what would you prepare for us?

14.) Calculate the angle of two clock hands when time is 11:50.

15.) Has a member of your team ever killed another living creature? Did they enjoy it?

....When it is on 50 the hand is on 10. 11 is 11. 9 to 12 is 3 segments. 10 to 11 is one segment.

That is one third the distance of 90 degrees.

That's the thing, though. The hour hand wouldn't be on 11 by then.

[He shrugs.]

Might be picky of me to point that out, but ten more minutes does put both the hands at 12. The hour hand would be moving... what, over 90 degrees in about three hours? So one hour is 30 degrees, giving it about a degree of movement every two minutes or so?

The hour hand would have moved 25 degrees by 11:50. That wouldn't have been on the 11 for a while.

........ [I did not think of that.]

The angle is whatever the free market dictates the angle is.

[Pfffff she says that so seriously, but at least he looks apologetic through his chuckling.]

I was gonna stick with "twenty-five degrees", but that works, too.
goodbyenurse: (Definitely up to something.)

[Shes changing the subject shut up no I didn't fail I never fail :(((] Actually, we are dealing with an ultracapitalist.

That is not an inherently invalid answer to any of her questions.
menially: (I merely know it's true ☼)

[personal profile] menially 2014-03-04 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Leans an elbow against the desk, smirking a little.]

Well, in that case, we could use this as an example for one of our questions.

[Tapping at #7. '-']
goodbyenurse: (I wonder...)

[personal profile] goodbyenurse 2014-03-04 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
...very well.

Yes.

Also, it would not be 25. Moving closer to 12 would bring it away from the minute hand, I sliver 35 would be nearer..?
menially: (Always in a rush ★)

[LET'S JUST PRETEND THIS HAPPENED RIGHT ABOUT NOW]

Looks like we both were wrong, then.
goodbyenurse: (I wonder...)

[Dammit Jim I'm a doctor not a mathematician.]

So it goes.

I did kill someone. It was moderately enjoyable.
unguilded: (not just a memory)

Ehehehh~ Two for the price of one! Sort of.
menially: (it's a perfect size ☼)

[personal profile] menially 2014-03-04 12:18 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, if it counts, then why not~
unguilded: (a GILF complex?)

[personal profile] unguilded 2014-03-04 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Wait...

Rounding off here, if one hand was near 9 and one near 12, that'd be a 90 degree angle. So if one is on 10 instead of 9, that leaves a pretty big gap in between that and 12 still ... it would be more than just 30 degrees, wouldn't it?
menially: (leave a little room for the holy ghost ϟ)

[personal profile] menially 2014-03-04 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[WOW UH GOOD POINT we're all great at math]

...Yeah, that would be another thirty degrees. Or, well, twenty five, if you count the hour hand.

So fifty-five degrees, then.

Let's go with that!!
