Wow! How can this quiz be so accurate?

Maybe I missed something here, but I don't see the quiz here. The quiz link simply goes to the same page, while the Code Project and Daily WTF just link to the base pages?

Yea, fess up. What code was yours?

hey J

You need Javascript to run the quiz. And I have this terrible feeling that even with javascript... it may not work on browsers other that IE (leon ducks for cover, fearing a volley of abuse)

um, sorry about that.

no bj, my own work hasn't yet been showcased at the daily wtf.

But I hope that I'll one day receive a lifetime achievement award from them.

They could do a whole biographical piece on me, from my first over use of goto, to my most recent hard-coded magic number.

good quiz

cheers Scott, that's more of a relief to me than you'd expect!

i expect the places where it doesn't work are in aggregators (and the built in browsers within some aggregators, such as RSSBandit, which have javascript off by default)

hope you did well on the quiz. personally, i'm a little dissappointed with my own results.

The quiz is tough but fair. I think I scored better than most.
