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.

You list Charlotte Church as evidence of your history of coding.
No, I said, Church. I have no idea who Charlotte is. Was referring to the inventor of lambda calculus, Alonzo Church[^].
Never mind, here you go[^].

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.

I thought the computer geek in that was the girl who came out with the immortal comment "This is Unix. I know this." That or the fat guy who was nicking the eggs.

I only just managed to sit through 1, let alone 2 or 3.

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.

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
