Lars W. Rosco, Jr. was interviewing for a job at Riddles 'R' Us. One final test and he would then be hired as one of the company's top executives with a huge salary and all the perks. Exactly what office, he was not told by the executive search committee. "Our Chairman feels strongly about your name", they told him.

After a few minutes, the gorgeous assistant of the Chairman entered the room and gave him a piece of paper marked 44444.

He almost fell from his chair when he read it because he couldn't make sense of the note!

The paper read:

A.EXECUTIVE OFFICES

1. PRESIDENT: Mountains of Work. Rush Work. More Work or Bust.

2. CFO: Number Crunches. Value Operations.

3. CORPSEC: monthly meetings every 30 days.

4. VP-PLANNING: Environment and Competition Analysis

5. VP-MARKETING: Market Expansion in all Directions.

B. NAMES OF EXECUTIVES (not in any order)

1. Scott A. Newbie, Jr.

2. Maximilian Davide A. Sanscollates

3. Norbert S. E. Wobblesworth

4. Wendel S. Ogden-Terwilliger

Questions:

1) Who currently holds which position?

2) Why is Lars being considered for the vacant office aside from his qualifications?

[Guest]

Lars is being considering for the President's position. His name coincides with the last names of the four busts on Mount Rushmore.

Maximillian is the CFO. His name coincides with the four basic mathematical operations.

Scott is the CORPSEC, I think his name has to do with the names of the months.

Wendel is the VP-PLANNING, I have no idea why.

Norbert is in VP-MARKETING, his name involves the cardinal directions.

Haha, that' some guess! Good job

Wendel's name is the analytical acronym for business planing: Weaknesses, Strengths, opportunities and threats.

Scott's name represents the months with 30 days.
