This happened when MICROSOFT asked X the following question Interviewer: Now we come to the part of the interview where we test your creative thinking. Don't think too hard about it; just apply common sense and explain your reasoning. Here's the problem. You are in a room with three switches that each control a different light fixture in another room. You cannot see from the switch room into the lamp room. Your task is to determine which switches control which light fixtures, but you may only go into the room with the lights once. How do you determine which switch controls which light? X: That seems straightforward. I could obtain a number of large mirrors, and, if necessary, a telescope. I enter the room with the lights once and position the mirror so that it reflects all three lights out the door of the room. I continue placing mirrors, aligning them as necessary to reflect the photons emitted by the lights until I am back in the room with the switches. Now I can see the lights, possibly through the telescope if the distance is large, and I can toggle the switches on and off so as to determine which light is controlled by which switch.
Interviewer: Um. Yeah, I suppose that would work. But what if you didn't have big mirrors, or couldn't align them well enough? X: Then I could obtain an inexpensive digital video camera and put it on a dolly with a sufficiently long rope attached to it. I could put the video camera in the room with the lights, turn it on, and then take the other end of the rope back to the room with the switches. I'd then play with the switches for a while and take notes on which switches I flipped at what time. Then I'd haul the camera on its dolly back into the switch room and review the recording. By correlating my notes of what switches were flipped at what time with the recording of the lights, I could correlate lights to switches. Interviewer: I forgot to mention that once you enter the room with the lights, you are not allowed to come back to the room with the switches. X: That is an unusual constraint that perhaps you ought to have mentioned earlier, but I'll go with it. In that case I would take a different approach. But first I'll need more information. Can I assume that the lights and the switches are correctly wired according to the National Electric Code of the United States? That is, that the switches interrupt the hots, not the neutrals, that the switches are standard-duty switches rated to interrupt 15 amps of 120 volt alternating current, and so on? AND THIS CONVERSATION GOES ON.

Reacting on a mock software company interview setup by Microsoft
"In this odd state of matter, X takes on a more human dimension; you can almost touch it," says Lene Hau, a Harvard University physicist. In the future, __________could have a number of practical consequences, including the potential to send data, sound, and pictures in less space and with less power. Also, the results obtained by Hau's experiment might be used to create new types of laser projection systems and night vision cameras with power requirements a million times less than what is presently possible.
The idea of this new kind of matter was first proposed in 1924 by Albert Einstein and Satyendra Nath Bose, an Indian physicist. According to their theory, atoms crowded close enough in ultra-low temperatures would lock together to form what Hau calls "a single glob of solid matter which can produce waves that behave like radio waves. _________this way doesn't violate any principle of physics. Einstein's theory of relativity places an upper, but not lower, limit on the __________.
An entirely new state of matter, first observed four years ago, has made this possible. When atoms become packed super-closely together at super-low temperatures and super-high vacuum, they lose their identity as individual particles and act like a single super- atom with characteristics similar to a laser. __________ is slowing down light
Primarily, WASD is used to account for the fact that the X(s) are not ergonomic to use in conjunction with a right-handed mouse. This also allows the user to use the left hand thumb to press the space bar (often the jump command) and the left hand little finger to press the CTRL or SHIFT keys (often the crouch and/or sprint commands). Some gamers prefer the WASD to the X(s) for other various reasons, including the fact that more keys (and therefore, game commands) are easily accessible with the left hand when placed near WASD. Left- handed mouse users may prefer using the numpad or IJKL with their right hands instead for similar reasons. Clue: The original Apple Macs had no X(s)

X has a long-running feud with the unseen driver of a light blue Reliant Regal Supervan III (registration GRA 26K).This conflict originated in the first episode, when the Reliant's driver held the Mini up on the way to a mathematics exam, and subsequently became a running joke throughout the series. Both the Mini and the Reliant re-appeared as characters in the animated X cartoons. Also seen is a left hand drive version of his Mini, owned by the character Sabine which has a French registration.(registration 207 UHO 75). For the 1997 feature film a sequence involving the Mini driving through Harrod's Department Store was shot, but this was not included in the final cut. After filming ended, the original Mini used in filming was sold to Kariker Kars to be hired for various events. It was then temporarily displayed as a major attraction at the Rover Group's museum. In 1997, it was purchased by the Cars of the Stars Motor Museum and is now on display at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu

The X is a unit of length, defined as the height of __________________ who, fittingly, was later the president of the ISO. The unit is used to measure the length of theHarvard Bridge. Canonically, and originally, in 1958 when X was a Lambda Chi Alpha pledge at MIT (class of 1962), the bridge was measured to be 364.4 Xs, plus or minus one ear, using Mr. X himself as a ruler. At the time, X was 5 feet, 7 inches, or 170 cm, tall.Google Earth and Google Calculator include the X as a unit of measurement.

A X is a five-digit number followed by a decimal point and one more digit. Example: "41254.7." The first two digits of the X are always "41." The 4 stands for 24th century, the 1 indicates first season. The additional three leading digits will progress unevenly during the course of the season from 000 to 999. The digit following the decimal point is generally regarded as a day counter.
X was invented to avoid continually mentioning __________century (actually, about two hundred years from now), and getting into arguments about whether this or that would have developed by then. Pick any combination of four numbers plus a percentage point, use it as your story's X. For example, 1313.5 is twelve o'clock noon of one day and 1314.5 would be noon of the next day. Each percentage point is roughly equivalent to one-tenth of one day. The progression of Xs in your script should remain constant but don't worry about whether or not there is a progression from other scripts.

Rule One: Grow at least three extra legs. You wont need them, but it keeps the crowds amused. Rule Two: Find one extremely good ________________________player. Clone him off a few times. This saves an enormous amount of tedious selection and training. Rule Three: Put your team and the opposing team in a large field and build a high wall around them. The reason for this is that, though the game is a major spectator sport, the frustration experienced by the audience at not actually being able to see whats going on leads them to imagine that its a lot more exciting than it really is. A crowd that has just watched a rather humdrum game experiences far less life affirmation than a crowd that believes it has just missed the most dramatic event in sporting history. Rule Four: Throw lots of assorted items of sporting equipment over the wall for the players. Anything will do cricket bats, basecube bats, tennis racquets, skis, anything you can get a good swing with. Rule Five: The players should now lay about themselves for all they are worth with whatever they find to hand. Whenever a player scored a hit on another player, he should immediately run away as fast as he can and apologize from a safe distance. Apologies should be concise, sincere, and, for maximum clarity and points, delivered through a megaphone. Rule Six: The winning team shall be the first team that wins.

A X in music is a one-movement work that is episodic yet integrated, free-flowing in structure, featuring a range of highly contrasted moods, colour and tonality. An air of spontaneous inspiration and a sense of improvisation make it free in form than a set of variations. The word X" is derived from the Greek _________, a reciter of epic poetry, and came to be used in Europe by the 16th century as a designation for literary forms, not only epic poems, but also for collections of miscellaneous writings and, later, any extravagant expression of sentiment or feeling. In the 18th century, literary Xs first became linked with music
_________________ is rhapsodier
A X is a piece of music in triple meter, most often written in time signature 3/4-beat but sometimes in 3/8 or 3/2. Xs typically have one chord per measure, and the accompaniment style particularly associated with the X is to play the root of the chord on the first beat, the upper notes on the second and third beats. This is known as an "oom-pa-pa" beat. The X had once held so much importance in European music circles that great X composers received the honorary title of X King. The title came with an accompanying royal staff, a decorated silver baton which was passed from musician to musician
