As students, we would often bait our tutors with questions like this. They would always throw them back at us to solve.

In this case, we would have been told to outline the steps required to achieve this goal. I.e. Storyboard, create simple text version to test the logic and then consider what would be required to move forward. In other words, follow the design process from beginning to end.

At the time we would groan and usually forget the whole thing but, occasionally this approach did trigger a positive response. Some of our better projects were kicked off this way so maybe it isn't always a good idea to 'dis' this sort of question.
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
