Completely off my usual topics, but as I think my brain is telling me after my weird CCIE dream; it's good to take your mind off things once in a while.
There is a fun little game doing the rounds at the moment, it's called None*. It's very simple; a black screen, a keyboard and a conundrum. Some are easy, some are hard. There are 50 levels.
It's well worth a play, it's free, and will really stretch your thinking.
I have completed it, and below each picture is the answer - just highlight the line.
