@Mason_Wheeler He could also have got PS Move + PSVR with some appropriate games, but I guess the easy solution is too easy...

Now that I am not on mobile I can elaborate.
If you look at the back of a power strip you will see the screws that hold the case together. One thing you can safely assume is that those screws do not go through the bus bars or anything that conducts power in the strip. There are also generally at least four of them and usually six or more.
Take out two screws on opposing corners and drill a hole completely through from back to front where those screws were. Without even opening the case you can know that it is safe to do so. Then place it on what you want to mount it to and drive screws in from front to back in to the wall or whatever.
Power strip mounted securely in 30 seconds, no need to measure, or try to find screws that fit those stupid little key slots, no power strip falling off because you bumped it off the screws, etc.
I can post a picture if my description didn't make sense.

@Polygeekery While a fine option if you already have a power strip screwed from the back, if possible I'd look for one that is screwed shut from the front. Those you can simply open up, screw the back half to the wall directly, then close them up again.
-
@PleegWat this option is easier. And if it screws shut from the front then just drill through those.
Give me a few and I will get a picture so you can see.
If I remember. Which I likely won't.

One of the problems with interviewing is that interviewers tend to test you based on their work style, and they find it incomprehensible that another competent person might have a completely different workstyle.

Viewpoint from the other side of the table: Many people with batshit crazy workstyles that are entirely counterproductive to anything remotely resembling sanity don't realize how fucked up they are and cannot accept that they might be doing things wrong because "That's the way I've always done it".
Your viewpoint is probably more prevalent, but my observation happens also.

That's actually useful. It keeps the wiper blades from freezing to the windshield, so that when he goes to scrape off the snow/ice, he doesn't tear the rubber blades.

They say that if you're digging a hole, and the walls collapse, you should hold the shovel above your head. Not only so that they can find your body, but I talked to a man who was able to dig himself out because he had done this.
-
@djls45 It's also the only visible indication that mound of snow and ice has a car under it. Under the circumstances, I'm not sure that frozen wiper blades are near the top of the list of concerns.

I've never done that and never teared the rubber blades.
And I live in

@TimeBandit In order for the rubber to freeze to the glass, there must have been liquid water to freeze; it can't freeze if it's never been unfrozen.

@TimeBandit I used to put up my wipers, or forget to do so. Now, I have a windshield cover that I forget to put on!

@error And the size of the compartments in the lower case are approximately proportional to the frequency those letters are used in English text, and thus the number of individual letters that need to be kept in those compartments.
BTW, a font used to mean a certain quantity of type (i.e., a certain number of pieces of each letter and punctuation mark) sufficient to set a certain amount of typical text. You might walk into a type foundry (where they cast molten typemetal into molds shaped like letters etc.) and say something like, "I need 4 fonts of 12-point Times Roman, 2 of 14-point Times Roman, and 1 each of 12-point Times Roman italic and 14-point Times Roman italic." And they'd hand you 8 packages, each containing letters, numbers and punctuation of the specified typeface, you'd go back to your shop, distribute the type into the appropriate compartments in your cases, and get on with the business of printing whatever it was you needed the type for.

If you think it smells bad, just throw it out. Don't make me smell the rotten/moldy whatever, too.

But they're acting on their need for sympathy. They've suffered through smelling it, so now they want you to commiserate with them to validate their suffering, and that requires that you suffer it as well so you both are working from the same baseline.

Sometimes I'm not sure. So I want a second opinion.
