...but you didn't get the bonus question? that one was nice.

5 out of 7. Never heard of Pizza as a programming language. I forget the other one I got wrong - must ask Dalek Dave if I can borrow his spare copy of 'How to turbo-charge your memory'...

4/7. To be fair, there was only one programming question.

Neither have I, but it seemed a lot more likely than Lettuce.

============================== Nothing to say.

6/7 got the movie question wrong.

My reasoning too.

Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

I got that one wrong too. The other I got wrong was a complete brain fart that I'm too embarrassed to admit to.

5/7 Movies & Pizza betrayed me.

I got a 7, but only because I took a blind guess at the movie question, on the basis that John Travolta was the only suspect without a picture.

Shame on you! An Italian at that. It was obvious - no programmer ever has anything to do with lettuce, but is always an expert on pizza. :laugh:

And making web pages is not really programming at all... So there was zero in fact... (Also 4/7)

Other then the HTML, the C and acronym question I made educated guesses. Question 1: The only machine I could relate to in that question was a loom hence I chose weaving fabric. Question 2: Amazing Grace just sounded better then the others. Question 3: I learned that at uni. Question 4: I figured many developers survive those long midnight stints on pizza so there must have been some bright spark that developed a language and called it that, so lettuce was the only option left. Question 5: Got the movie question wrong. Question 6: That one was obvious. Question 7: That one was obvious.

Six / Seven John Travolta can't even turn on a computer, much less use it... So I got that one wrong.

7 from 7. I had to guess the dummy language, but the rest I knew; for a given value of 'knew'.

2/7... Guess I'd better quit my job :( Oh wait, these questions didn't actually have anything to do with programming. I live to code another day :)

It's an OO world.

Thanks Griff, I'll try to remember that :)
