    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.

      My reasoning too.

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

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

                              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.

                                  That was why I decided against the joke. Google images for Charlotte Church has some great related searches. Reads like the fetish list on a low rent pron site.
