    On the BBC[^] I got 5 out of 7. (I am not asking a programming question, merely pointing at something that is (kinda)).

    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.

    public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
    public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }
    }

            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.

              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.

                I don't think I've seen Jurassic Park. Read the book, but don't think I ever saw the film.

                      Same. I thought Johnny was also a programmer, but not a hacker. I thought SLJ tried to access the system, but wasn't a programmer.

                          No John. You do not get extra points for shooting the monitor because you just wasted 5 minutes. It does not work that way.

                                        My history of computing includes Babbage, Church, Turing and McCarthy. The rest are irrelevant! ;P

                                          I typed out that joke and then decided not to bother with it. Have a 5.

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