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:
So true! :-O

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'...
You can borrow all four of mine... :-O

I got that one wrong too. The other I got wrong was a complete brain fart that I'm too embarrassed to admit to.
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
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.

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.
