As a potential employee, I am just not going to do this. Nor am I going to complete puzzles (and I LIKE puzzles) or dance around in front of a whiteboard.
What I would be willing to do is work as a well paid contractor for 1-3 months to make sure that we are a good fit for each other. I'm not sure how anything other than actually working together could suffice.
I am fortunate enough not be concerned about immediate benefits like medical due to my wife's employment--I recognize that this might not be a good option for everyone.

I would love to have a two screen eReader that would open like a physical book. It could have multiple modes of operation:
1. a page turn would change both displays like a physical book 2. a page turn would just shift one page over and bring up the next page 3. one page could be 'pinned' and page turning would just occur on the unpinned screen
I would also like to be able to create bookmark 'pairs' that would bring up two (not necessarily adjacent) pages of my choosing. I think this would make eReaders much more useful for technical books.

I had to double check the date to make sure this hadn't been posted on April 1st. I knew it was a ways away but I was looking forward to being able to have an Ubuntu phone.

I just checked my Moto G 3rd generation again and it doesn't work. There is a corresponding open issue, but it makes me leery about using it for now.
