Would the puzzle work if you all didn't work that day of November? yes if you met in other place? yes (although it would be more difficult to execute) Relevant that the 30 of November is the last day before December? no Is it relevant that 30 in roman numbers is XXX? no Is it important the correspondence 30 of November-30 seconds? no I mean...if the birthday was the 29th of November would it be 29 seconds for the puzzle to work? no Does you celebrate 30 years? No, but ORT Is a calendar somehow involved? no Does the 30 of November, a part from the birthdays, represent a special date? no/FA If so, also for another event than the birthday? Does the puzzle work if the song "Happy birthday" took all the 30 seconds? It would make no difference Is the only important thing to meet each other/see each other? yope
Is the birthday somehow celebrated? yes Is the way the birthday is eventually celebrated relevant? no Will your colleagues bring something with them? That would be nice, but irrelevant A cake? Gifts? Is the whole scene a part of your gift? Do they show you something like a video? n/a to all Will you come back to work after the 30 seconds? yes Are you organizing something like a flash-mob? no

Wait, so, the answer to "What is the reason for the meeting?" is not just "For everyone to sing 'Happy Birthday' to you"? Correct - its success is not contingent on whether or not the song is sung, and the reason ties in with the time limit.
Hmm I just sang it and it only took 20s If you threw in my middle, last, and confirmation name, you could almost stretch it out far enough.
