    ok, agree. I should rephrase my comment: "There was only one technical question."

        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.

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

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

                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.

                Superman, had the guy at the bottom, and Jackson was the IT guy in Jurasic park wasnt he? But yeah, Lettuce was a guess. OK, a language caled Pizza, thats fairly likely, given the diets of programmers.

                    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.

                              You get the 5 for the gratuitous use of Bajeebas. If you hadn't put the exclamation marks in, it would have been a 4, but they tipped it into a 5. Kudos.

                                It looks like the jokes on BBC they have had to change one set of answers, the Lettice/Pizza one, as there is a programming language for all of the orginial answers. It is now concrete instead of lettice - but then again there is concrete object sysntax for javascript does that count? They should have used a name that is obviously nothing to do with programming VisualBasic springs to mind :laugh:

                                  He was the other programmer, the guy who got through the various blocks the fat bloke had put in the way. Ended up being eaten by a Raptor. Sadly, this is often the fate of the junior programmer.

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

                                      7 questions on computer programs, and all but 1 totally irrelevant to teaching children how to program. But what else would you expect from an aged maiden aunt who thinks technology was invented to spy on people who have televisions?

                                        6 out of 7. Missed out on the movie question but got the one on HTML right though I have not written any HTML code. I guess I am ready to apply for a web programming job! ;P

                                          Had I known I'd have studied! :(

                                          It's an OO world.

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