A representative from The Pokemon Company pays a visit to Virginia Tech.

The company is hosting a massive summer internship and visiting several colleges across the US to recruit some the top up and coming game developers.

The rep explains to the school that anyone interested in the internship should submit a personal project they are working on as an application. A great number of students submit projects and await the results.

Three students are selected to meet personally with the representative. The three students arrive at the appointed office, where the Pokemon rep sits solemnly behind a desk in the middle of the room. Atop the desk sits three black boxes.

"Welcome" the rep begins "You three were all selected due to your exceptional entries. Unfortunately, due to the limited available spaces, I am only authorized to select two of you"

The three students glance nervously to one another, wondering who the unlucky third person will be.

"As you can see, I have three black boxes in front of me. Two are empty, but the third holds a commemorative Pokemon memorabilia as a constellation prize for your efforts." he explains "You three will take turns reaching into a box of your choosing to determine the two winners."

The first student steps forward, and picks his box. He puts his right hand in and when he takes his right hand out it remains empty.

The second student picks his box. Puts his right hand in and takes his right hand out, also empty.

The third student is crushed. He was so sure this was going to be his big break. Defeated, he simply stares at the closed black box.

The representative quickly stands up from his chair.

"Well, it seems you're due the Hokie Pokemon, so turn yourself around. That's what this was all about."
