>The hardest test in the selection process was a combined map course plotting task, where you had to accurately plot out a course of about 15-20 waypoints, but every 60 seconds the examiner would read out a logic problem "if Jane wears blue on Tuesdays and green on weekends, what would she wear on the day before Monday ?" - stuff like that

This reminded me of a typical open office environment for a programmer...

Normally without the deaths of 400 people if you make an error.

Although, software errors can kill or cause harm so it'd be interesting to see if anyone has costed the benefits of open plan vs offices.
