    Pre Christmas Frivolities

    (Or things to do while waiting for a CICS region)

    A little bit of harmless fun to break the ice with my new colleagues really.

    My desk is situated on the 15th floor of a building on a business park near Chippenham. On that desk is a packet of chocolate hobnobs. There are 22 biscuits in a 300g pack.

    How many will survive intact when, at 12 pm, I drop the packet from the window of the 15th floor to the carpark below?

    I'm having a sweepstake....

    None of them if my dog gets there before you do.

      Taking this off topic as it's not real anyway.

      What happens when your dog eats chocolate?

          A building near Chippenhem with a 15th floor? Are you sure? Where's that then?

            This is the kind of thing that makes Britain Great.

            As an aside, you're lucky Mr B. I haven't worked in a building for many years where you can open the window on upper floors.

              Which way do you place the packet before dropping? flat end down or circular part down?
