Here is the solution to the “Power story” non coding challenge:
When the power went out, Ann open the wireless settings of her laptop, scanned the area but couldn’t find a single wireless access point in the neighborhood.
This is actually based on a true story (mine, yesterday). I can usually see a dozen access points at any time, but they were all gone after the power went out yesterday, which gave me the idea for this challenge.
We had a few good answers, some that came close and a few more that answered without reading the problem carefully :-).
I have approved all the moderated comments on the original challenge.
