This game may be a one-time deal. It is a rendition on the stealing-your-coworker’s-lunch-from-the-refrigerator game. Basically, one of my co-workers brought a mid-morning snack of an apple, banana, and granola. These treats are sitting on the desk next to me. My coworker is off doing his morning chores and won’t return for another twenty minutes. The rules of the game are simple: how much of my coworker’s snack can I eat without them noticing anything amiss. Scoring is based on a series of equations that have to do with the amount eaten in relation to the product’s degree of difficulty (i.e. I score more points for eating the banana than the granola; the banana is also worth slightly more than the apple). The final score will either be one or a fraction of one. One is a perfect score and is attainable if all the food is eaten and the coworker is naïve to my involvement in food’s disappearance. Games usually begin with a few pinches of granola lifted from the coworker’s stash. It should also be noted that it is acceptable to replace the eaten foods with a false substance. Thus, it may be a wise move to replace the eaten granola with pencil shavings or an eaten apple with a piece of wax fruit. Substituting my own fruit for one of the coworker’s fruit is illegal though and automatically results in a score of zero. A risky, but usually victorious move that results in a perfect score is to eat the banana, apple, and granola all at once and then set fire to the spot where the food was. It should also be mentioned that there is a loophole I can take that results in an automatic perfect score. If the consumption of the coworker’s food leads to dismissal of my duties in the company then a score of one is automatically awarded to me. Also, eating all the food and then resigning or quitting the job will lead to a perfect score. Also, I do not have to eat the whole banana, peel included, to get a perfect score. As long as all edible parts of the fruit is eaten, within reason, then a perfect score is awarded. game created by Mark Baumer
