Not least because I haven’t yet repeated the cake testing task of that very first year. And if you’d like to join in the good times, here’s the most recent instalment.
After reading the latest management BS (that’s Brilliant Science, y’know) book the QA manager mailed round the following to the product development team, convinced that in doing so he’d be making informed staff happy staff. He was also secretly beginning to use the third person to refer to himself in order to increase their level of respect for the QA manager. (That’s psychology, that is.)

Unfortunately, the QA manager hasn’t spotted that his message’s multiple meanings obscure any benefit there might once have been to its circulation. Help him to see the error of his ways by identifying as many sources of ambiguity and/or alternative interpretations of the statement as you can.
- All interpretations must be agreed as reasonable readings for a native English speaker
- There is a time limit of 10 minutes.
I’ve put the readings we came up with in the comments.
