IT professor Steven Schkolne has come up with a challenge where contestants are given a horribly tangled tangle of Ethernet cables. Choosing the winner is easy. The first person to untangle it gets the prize!

“I did a bunch of experiments and found that putting them in a dryer for three minutes works pretty well, it allows them to tangle naturally,” he told BBC World Service’s Digital Planet programme.
