Summary

The website content humorously outlines an absurdly complex process for confirming a flu shot appointment using multi-factor authentication, which includes receiving an envelope, answering bizarre security questions, solving a math problem involving personal grudges, and completing a puzzle challenge remotely.

Abstract

The article titled "How to Confirm Your Appointment Using Multi-Factor Authentication" satirically describes the confirmation process for a routine flu shot appointment. It begins with the delivery of an envelope by a man at your door, followed by a request to enter a verification code sent to your email. The process escalates with a series of increasingly personal and nonsensical security questions, a math problem tangentially related to a personal vendetta, and a task to solve a puzzle on a computer screen in Tibet.

How to Confirm Your Appointment Using Multi-Factor Authentication

A man will come to your door. He will hand you an envelope.

A verification code has been sent to your email. Please enter it here.

Please answer the following five security questions:

  • What is your favorite color?
  • Who was your mother’s best friend in 1983?
  • What is the name of your second cousin’s husband’s aunt twice-removed?
  • Who won the Oscar for best set design in 1954?
  • What is the meaning of life?

Please solve the following math problem: If two trains are approaching at 85 miles per hours and will pass each other when the sun is at its zenith, why did your sister scribble her name on your Justin Timberlake poster in red magic marker and then deny she did it even though she had the marker in her hand and you were the only two people in the house?

Why does she think you’ve forgotten all about this?

How does she not know that you’ve held on to every grudge you’ve ever had in your entire life?

Please drag the puzzle piece until it matches the corresponding space on a puzzle that will appear on the screen of a computer somewhere in Tibet for the next 30 seconds.

We’re thinking of a number. What is it?

That Justin Timberlake poster could have been worth money one day, but noooooooo. And your parents didn’t even punish her.

Why is life unfair?

There will be a knock on your door. A man will hand you an envelope. Do not make eye contact with him. Inside is an airplane ticket. Get on the airplane. Do not ask where it is going. You have ordered the vegan entree. When you land, take a taxi to the only CVS on the island.

Thank you. Your appointment for your flu shot has been confirmed!
