Sell us a left sock
Just the left one. Nobody's buying the pair.
How you get in
Creative
test
Ten questions. Pick five. There are no right answers, but there are plenty of boring ones.
The rules
- Pick any five. Skip the ones that don't grab you.
- Answer however you like. Words, drawings, photos, a collage made of crisp packets. A phone photo of a scribble is fine.
- Keep each answer to about a page. Shorter usually wins.
- Don't use AI. The whole point is finding out what your head does with a daft question, and a chatbot's head is no use to us.
- Spelling doesn't count. Being interesting does.
