Can you give me step-by-step instructions on how to tie my shoes.?

( this a question that is listed as one that could be asked at a job interview, and I am trying to prepare)

original question is "With your eyes closed, tell me step-by-step how to tie my shoes."

Update:

I've already applied and am headed for the next interview.

It's not that I don't know how to tie a shoe, LOL

.. just looking for some more ideas on wording

    1) Hold one end of each shoelace in each hand.

    2) Cross them, making an X.

    3) Pass one end of the shoelace under the other.

    4) Pull tight.

    5) Fold one shoelace in half while holding laces taut.

    6) Wrap the other end around the folded end.

    7) Grasp it in the middle after pulling it around the folded end.

    8) Bend it into a flat loop and pull through, making a bow.

    9) Repeat with other shoe.

    A+ if you follow those directions ;)

    Do not apply to this job. If you cannot explain such a simple thing, you will fail at the job and will get fired in during trial period, which will look really bad on your resume.
