Of course, the first is Olin's The Great Concept (OGC), the second is
ingenious Olin's The Implementation Of The Concept (OIC). Even
certifications are separate for OGC and OIC.

To pass OGC one should answer:
- why dead fish;
- why moon;
- what's The Golden Rule;
- what's the difference between idiot, stupid, bozoo, severe case of
moronic plague, two drunk neurons brained, etc;

To pass OIC one should demonstrate excelent skills in:
- waving the dead fish most eficiently;
- writing the code to calculate the right moon phase (usage of
asbsolute addressing would trigger a high voltage discharge over the
examinee);
- operating the storage of parts in relocatable mode, boxes of
different sizes should fit 1 bank space - 2048 cubic sm;
- naming a newbie with the right word (most complex part of the exam,
9 of 10 newbies should start driving crazy from half-turn)
---
I passed both certfications and even more - now I'm MVP (Most Valuable
Person) in the area. I planed visiting Microchip's MASTERs this month,
but the problem is our ox-carts are not quite good at crossing
Atlantic.

Regards.
