Flat-Wire / Mission: Possible!

Today is actor Peter Graves? birthday. He played James Phelps on Mission: Impossible. In one episode, he was given a tough order: ?Good morning, Mr. Phelps. Your assignment, should you decide to accept it, is to mount a new plasma TV screen on a wall without leaving any exposed wires showing.? Phelps responded, ?That's impossible!? His task was further outlined in the enclosed envelope: ?Here you will find new flat-wire technology by Decorp. Some of these paper-thin flat wires will provide electrical current, while others are for audio and video signals and data transmission. When glued onto the wall, they can be covered with a concealing compound, then sanded and painted so they become virtually invisible. In the event that you mess up this simple task, we will disavow any knowledge of your actions. As always, this tape (unlike flat-wire) will self-destruct in exactly five seconds. Good luck.?
