I'm sorry no one listened, Ted. I'll do what I can to punish them.

> "Talk for 3 minutes about your attitude towards creativity" Maybe I'm a brainlet but I don't even know what this means. I would probably sit there silent.

>"Creativity is a core principle in my problem-solving strategy. I always look for innovative and elegant ways to approach challenging problems, and thrive in situations where they may not be an established way of doing things.

Working smarter has always been my watchword. (etc etc)
