Geek Test

I came across this earlier today:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4287006.stm

It's a joke, my grandma could pass this test.

10/10...

Give it a go.

It's aimed at the general public, not the typical Channel 9 reader. We're geeks by definition and should be expected to get 9 or 10 out of 10

(I got 10 but had to guess at the "game" terminology which I hadn't heard before)

I answered all the questions correctly and scored 2/10

Stupid ambigious questions

You got 10 right! Excellent, you have the makings of a proper propeller head.

What does that mean?

Similar to a "Modern Major General"

"Propeller head" is the name given to any "Alpha-Geek", its derived from the 1970's geek stereotype, complete with beanie hat with propeller on top.

And "proper" is just slang for "authentic"

Got it. (Not the beanie hat...)

I got it right, but I had to guess, I havn't touched a game in years.

I only got 8.

I didn't know the answer to that either, but I still don't see how you could've gotten it wrong. A and C are not technology answers, so they can't be right, and D doesn't make any sense.

Honestly I thought they were like british terms for different things....and I didn't put so much efforting into caring about that question.

"A sniper, it's a way of describing their keen sight."
I have to remember that one... thats funny!
