Re: Bringing "Mental Gymnast" back On Topic

And that's why I said originally that: 
* it was an interesting question on a job application.
* I didn't think there was a "right" answer.

I suspect the question was there to explore your
approach to problem solving; to see not what you
answered, but how. And to find a way through the
hundreds of resumes collected on a web-posted job.
I'll bet that the 1-word answer--switch--by itself
would not be a good answer, correct or otherwise.

What are the odds of that? ;-)
