Thoughts From a Braidy Tester

Tester Puzzle

I was recently in a hotel that provided the following instructions for getting Internet access:

High Speed Internet Access

For support contact the Millennium Technology Help Desk, extension 9999, option 2

Four easy steps to connect:


  1. You need a network interface card (NIC) with an adapter OR and [sic] internal NIC (Ethernet port).

  2. Shut down your computer. Connect the high speed internet access cable on the desk to the adapter or Ethernet port.

  3. Turn on your computer and launch an Internet browser.

  4. The hotel welcome page will appear. Follow instructions to complete the connection.


How many different test cases can you come up with? Put your answers in the comments, or email them to me. I'll summarize and answer next week!
