Anyway, I digress, It got me thinking about how to incorporate more sporting challenges into the working day. We may have a Pool table and the odd PS3 to keep us entertained, but there is rarely the time in the day to enjoy these little distractions… then it struck me. We in the Mercedes Team have fiercely competitive game of paper, scissors, stone a number of times a day. None of this Gold Silver and bronze merlarchy, it is for the ultimate prize of not having to make a round of six teas & coffees.  Serious stuff I’m sure you’ll agree.  The only issue I have, and now need your help with, is replacing this classic game with something a bit more up-to-date…  Getting six people’s timing right so no-one reveals themselves too early is a bit of a problem, as is the odd occasion when a game goes on for 34 rounds…   so thinking caps on please…  how do we decide on who makes the tea…. ?
