It's like, really, totally, entirely, off-topic, but, like I heard, somewhere, that some companies, like might, may be using, sometime, the following puzzle in their hiring process:

Imagine a world in which:

1. A players hire only A players;

2. B players hire C players; and C players hire D players etc. all the way down to Z players.

Assume that:

1. The trickle-down effect from B to Z causes bozo explosions in companies.

2. Bozo explosions are bad.

3. No one knows what letter player they are.

Develop a computer vision algorithm to minimize the risk of a bozo explosion.
