Looks like the older you are, the more you may know about Star Trek...so I guess I am the oldest! I grew up with it and know every line in the short runned TV shows.

The "Kobayashi Maru" was the name afforded a no-win scenario for command-destined cadets of the future (which implies imaginary, of course ) The character Captain Kirk - storybooked to be a "throw away the book" type of great commander - when confronted with the Kobayashi Maru test at the Star Fleet Academy won....by cheating.
