The Andromeda Trophy

In a galaxy far, far away, the Zogian Empire host an annual contest for the curious, undulating (and not entirely intelligent) inhabitants of the Gzar star system. The prize is the Andromeda Trophy! Now, to be honest, this isn't a particularly exciting event (or prize, come to that). The entire population of Zog would be hard-pressed to raise more than 2K between them, and some of the denizens from the more impoverished sectors of the outer planets are even thicker, consequently the challenge level is painfully undernourished and (predictably) it's written in Basic.

Visiting Earthlets are advised the take the 'This will strain your mental powers to the limit!' claim with more than a pinch of salt! I mean, I went through the entire thing (which includes a couple of simple mazes and a Simon-touch-me-in-sequence routine) in less than fifteen minutes. Three-year-olds will doubtless do it quicker. All in all, unlikely to test the mental prowess of the average housebrick.
