It is curious how different offices handle the interview. It all adds to the unpredictability of the process.

It must be intensely tedious being an interviewing officer. The first week would be interesting but not after that.

I was bored to tears with the Q&A by the time I got to the interview so I imagine the IO's are too

They should ask more interesting questions like what is the difference between an illegal and treasonous armed insurrection compared to a legitimate and justified revolution.
