Quick Programming Quiz

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(); }
}Nope - sorry, your resignation was final! :laugh:

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.
Richard Pryor - Superman 3 Samuel L Jackson - Jurassic Park

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.

The Jacquard Loom is rather famous.

}No, but we must mock you for your poor general knowledge.

On the BBC[^] I got 5 out of 7. (I am not asking a programming question, merely pointing at something that is (kinda)).
Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.
I got 8 of 7.

6/7 got the movie question wrong.

Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. Drink. Get drunk. Fall over - P O'H OK, I will win to day or my name isn't Ethel Crudacre! - DD Ethel Crudacre I cannot live by bread alone. Bacon and ketchup are needed as well. - Trollslayer Have a bit more patience with newbies. Of course some of them act dumb - they're often *students*, for heaven's sake - Terry Pratchett

You list Charlotte Church as evidence of your history of coding. Brave man.

No, I said, Church. I have no idea who Charlotte is. Was referring to the inventor of lambda calculus, Alonzo Church[^].
