Do you mean Equity. Only the Holy Book can solve it. Human Inteligence cannot because they differ.

By the Great Prophet Zarquon, you're right. Only the Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy can solve it. The answer's 42 dagnabit.

Ay yes, the only holy book worth the name. All others are works of fiction written by shepherds on hills thousands of year ago, THHGTTG is the Ultimate Truth! (Written on a Lisa I believe!)

I didn't recognize any of them, but I got 4 by random selection.

I got both of those wrong as well. And also the 2 vintage gamer systems.

8/10 at age 29, thats harsh :(

6/10 - but I'm only 29....
It definitely isn't definatley
6/10 here as well. I'm also 29, but many of them were unfamiliar due to them not being marketed in the United States (such as Amstrads, Acorns, and Sinclairs). The first one (which looked straight out of the original Star Trek series), I only knew from knowing the history of computer games.
I don't claim to be a know it all, for I know that I am not...
I usually have an answer though.

Yes, it is:
Dec | Oct
0 | 0
1 | 1
2 | 2
3 | 3
4 | 4
5 | 5
6 | 6
7 | 7
8 | 10
9 | 11
10 | 12Classic joke (perhaps misquoted): Why do Unix sysadmins confuse Halloween and Christmas? Because Dec 25 = Oct 31

9/10 :) Who are you calling an old timer? :mad: ;) ;P
Well, I scored a 5 so 9 should be OK for you. ;P

3 out of 10 but I think you'd need to be British to do any good at that quiz and games consoles don't exactly fit in there. The Commodore PET was super easy because it's the first pc I cut my teeth on (though that was a SuperPET).

Come on, no way! I certainly look older than I am. I guess you are definitely 'senior' to me. But that's only a guess. :)

:laugh: You see, two things made me guess it - you were positioned as PM, and me a Senior dev (at least 25 years of difference ;P ). You're a married now and may be a mother too? (remember it from one of your previous posts). Also, you used to call me "beta". ;P :laugh:
