Heehee, 90% geek, I'm actually surprised I scored this low to be honest *starts re-reading old C64 memory maps to top off his geek-cred*

Couple of my favorites...

Sadly, I got this one before I realized how it was written.

Have you ever solved a complex computer problem while in the shower?
I have this one beat, solved a programming question in dream many times. But worse, I figured out how to fix a most annoying crash in a game I was writing while "making the beast with two backs". Wisely I waited until later to fix the code :lol:

Hm...only 60% for me. I'm kinda disappointed.

Now if they had any questions related to fanfiction or how many video game systems you own, THEN I probably would have scored higher.

I would have scored higher, too. In this house there are... At least eight types, if you don't count computers...

And it asked how many windows you have open, not tabs. If they'd asked about tabs, my score would have been higher.

Number of computers in the room with you... I'm accompanied by... Six or seven working computers (Not sure where one is...) and there are... three more in the closet, it looks like.

As for fan-fiction, you just don't want to know.

mine, a shaker or two may
yield the best result.)

Same :o

I think this quiz was a pretty limited measure of 'geekyness' though.

I just noticed there's no points for the Baron Vladimir Harkonnen gag answer. Sure, it's a gag answer, but it's Dune. C'mon, what's not nerdy about a SF epic?

for the thing about the number of windows open, I assumed tabs were included.

also, I got 52%. some of the stuff I just had absolutely no clue on.
