OK ... Show of Hands. Who was guilty of playing Pac Man on Google when you should've been working?
When Google added an interactive game of Pac Man in place of their logo this weekend, most people assumed it was a harmless piece of fun.
But business experts now claim the game - there to celebrate 30 year of Pac Man - has cost businesses big in the number of hours of lost work.
It's said office workers around the world spent almost 5,000,000 hours playing the game on the Google shaped maze… mostly when they should have been working.
This means firms lost hours of potentially productive time and taking an average office salary of £17.50 per hour this equates to about £85m in lost productivity.
