Only managed a 27%...

First thing you think when you see "SI"

I think "yes." That wasn't an option. :facepalm:

That's what I thought at first, too. And I don't even live in California.

With a heavy heart, I must relinquish my crown, but the less geeky has claimed it.

BTW, SI is yes, I don't care what they think it means!

68 percent. Test is too chiphead oriented.  Nothing about phospholipid bilayers, shell filling order by electrons in the transition metals or sediment accretion rates on deep ocean plains.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

That was the first thing I thought, as well.

95% . . . oh well.

I don't know what I missed (possibly the Amstrad thing).

It doesn't seem like there are enough questions to achieve scores of both 95% and 97%, I wouldn't have thought the granularity was there.

Of course, there's always the possibility that the questions are weighted.

Had to guess at the soundtrack question -- I has no audio on this box.

I had to answer what music to that one myself but I always cruise APS with the sound off. Have you listened to some of things you people link to?

Or for that matter, ancient near eastern treaty forms.  More than one way to be a geek.

Damn.  I'm not the fastest horse in the glue factory.  I obeyed the letter of the instruction, picking the firstest thing I thunk, not trying to choose the nerdiest possibly correct answer.  Fwiw, i took my first course in programming in 1972.

I'm not a geek. Duh...

43%. Weird thing is the discripter implied I was good with phone apps but couldn't manage Windows Word help section.

Not to worry, Liz. I beat you in ungeekness.

Your final geek rating is:

41%

    You’re just “meh” with technology. One minute smugly downloading a cool new smartphone app to show off, the next staring in despair at the Microsoft Word help system to write a simple letter.
