5 out of 7. Never heard of Pizza as a programming language. I forget the other one I got wrong - must ask Dalek Dave if I can borrow his spare copy of 'How to turbo-charge your memory'...

Neither have I, but it seemed a lot more likely than Lettuce.

Shame on you! An Italian at that. It was obvious - no programmer ever has anything to do with lettuce, but is always an expert on pizza. :laugh:
So true! :-O

I got that one wrong too. The other I got wrong was a complete brain fart that I'm too embarrassed to admit to.

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.

Six / Seven John Travolta can't even turn on a computer, much less use it... So I got that one wrong.

7 from 7. I had to guess the dummy language, but the rest I knew; for a given value of 'knew'.
