For those who are a nerd....... 90-0-10. Just your typical, garden variety Supreme Nerd. Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas. Albert Einstein |

We`ll join up after points, and fight each other, to find who is the best/worst neek, nerd or what ever.. I dont know the rules though ;-) Can't be that rare, with four of us in a row. |

We`ll join up after points, and fight each other, to find who is the best/worst neek, nerd or what ever.. I dont know the rules though ;-) I found some of the questions (on both tests) really funny, and some were missing. I can't remember the last time I had just one publicly routable IP, and there wasn't a single question about IP blocks. I would have liked to see two questions: How many computers can you see from where you are sitting? How many of them are on? Of course, in this group, both of those would be unusually high. |

We`ll join up after points, and fight each other, to find who is the best/worst neek, nerd or what ever.. I dont know the rules though ;-) Missing in the "fun evening" answers set. "Work on an online help desk." "Work on some code." "Repair a computer or other electronics." Missing questions: "Have you ever submitted code to an Open Source progrem?" "Was it accepted?" "Was it a significant part of the program?" "Were you then invited to become a part of the core team?" "Did you accept?" BOINC WIKI |

Score: 8 points. You're a geek. You or your subject is a geek, preferring the fantastic to the mundane; geeks are more apt to favor lightsabers over laser pointers and comic books over text books. 19% scored higher (more nerdy), 1% scored the same, and 80% scored lower (less nerdy). What does this mean? Your nerdiness is: High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!. (The question about the graphing calculator tripped me up. I had to check how old my HP 48SX was...) Go figure...I'm an oddball...My wife even bought me this t-shirt... Clk2HlpSetiCty:::PayIt4ward |

Right now, are you killing time while waiting for something to compile? I have compiled gcc 1.16 on my AT&T UNIX PC (a.k.a. PC7300 or Safari) running at 10 MHz. It took days. Now it would take seconds on my AMD Opteron 1210 at 1.8 GHz. Happy days! Tullio |

16 points, score of 48/2/50 (Somewhat nerdy. I mean face it, you are nerdier than about half the test takers) Took the second nerdtests test: I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

Same thing, 16 points. I'm a nerd (and I knew it!). Universe is not an awful waste of space. |

I couldn't possibly answer any of those questions because I've practically never watched any of those shows. |
