Heh. I just wish they'd tell me which questions I got right.

The true nerd does a differential analysis on the questions, of course.

Well, yeah, that's true. Alas, yrs. truly squeaked by in Stat for Social Science Majors with a D, and didn't fare much better in Calc. Most of my nerdity lies in areas other than the mathematical.

Well, the simpler version of "differential analysis" is "play with the answers and see what makes the score go up."

I managed to get a 100% result without too much trouble; of course, this was starting with my initial 91%.

The scary thing is that there's at least one question where any of the answers are insufficiently nerdy by my standards. (No one uses telnet anymore; it's insecure. Ssh is much better.)

I went to do it ... but ... I'm most of the time doing something that I can qualify as "work" at some point while I'm online ... *LOL* So I'm already stalled.

Oh well. Will come up with something :)

Grin. I said the same thing. But I just answered the question as if "telnet" read "ssh", since that's obviously what they *meant*.

Well, no one's stopping you from setting up an ssh tunnel for your telnet. ;)

You know, I think that wondering that should raise your score a bit. :)

I'm nobody -- who are you?
Are you nobody too?
Then there are two of us -- don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.

I got an 85. I clearly have too many friends and work a job right now that requires me to get up early in the morning. :->

It *does* ask if you plan on telling anyone else your score. :->

I think trying to figure out which ones you got "wrong" is a lot nerdier than merely sharing it. In fact, sharing it is arguably pop-culture-focus and not nerdy at all.
