I am in a bit of a quandry. There is a Mr. Engineer contest, and I am a participant. However, this contest involves a "talent" portion. I have anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes to wow them with whatever talent I present. However, I am coming up short in determining a talent to present. Any suggestions/vibes/quotes of the day?

You don't have any talents?

Solve a differential equation on a blackboard. While juggling 5 balls behind your back with one hand, riding a unicycle, and balancing a stack of books on your head.

Mr. Engineer? Defuse some explosives. Or, make a Rube Goldberg device (not a huge one, something simple), that requires you to participate at several points. Ohhhhh yeah.

We have an Engineer of the Year contest (coming up next week). Last year I believe the winning talent portion was somebody who wrote a song about calculators and sung it fairly well in front of the audience. If your contest is after Monday next week I can give you some more ideas.

Well, since I only have until tomorrow to prepare, I was sort of thinking of doing a one-man Monty Python skit for a two-person scene.

Lipsynch to bagpipes. I've done it for several talent shows. You find a 30 second or so piece of bagpipe music and stand there holding your breath with your cheeks all puffed out moving you arm up and down. It's great.

Or lip synch to some boy band tune while busting a move. (Or girl band and shake those hips, if you prefer)

Recite the square of integers 1 to 50!

You actually don't have to memorize them if you do some computation in your head. Just remember the following:

Given b=a+1, b^2 = a^2 + a + b

If you know a^2, then all you have to do is add.
