An oldie but a goodie. Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer? Don't ask why I was reminded of this today...

    Funny, I took this quite a while ago and when I tried again now I STILL couldn't do better than 7 out of 10.

    9/10, That wasn't so hard. Helps that I knew what some of the killers looked like though.
  • Daniel B. Daniel B. replied Aug 8, 2007
    Ergh.... 6 out of 10... those developers look so ominous and the kilers look so clever!

    i've definitely done this before and I only got 7/10.

    at least I got Sussman, or I think everyone at MIT would have shunned me.

    So wait, where does Hans Reiser fall? Is there a "both" answer?

    7/10 - Funny that the serial killers looked less serial killer-ish than the computer guys!

    Excellent Leah! 7/10 here.
  • Douglas E. Douglas E. replied Aug 8, 2007
    8/10 - what does that say about me? Does that make me a psychopathic programmer? Of which I am neither?
  • Jason D. Jason D. replied Aug 8, 2007

    Where would Hans Reiser fit into all of this? After all, he did create the ReiserFS, and killed his wife...
  • Matt H. Matt H. replied Aug 8, 2007
    9/10...not bad. My liver's safe it seems.

    Yeah. What reminded you of this? Gotta be a good story...
  • Matthew H. Matthew H. replied Aug 8, 2007
    @Kevn S. : Hans Reiser is neither a serial killer nor a programming language inventor. The comments in the ReiserFS source code are scary. I recommend reading them at 2am.

    9/10....but that last guy threw me off....even though he looked like a programmer...he also looked a bit creepy
  • Barbara R. Barbara R. replied Aug 9, 2007
    7/10; I wonder if any were programmers before they went serial?
  • Chris S. Chris S. replied Aug 9, 2007
    7/10 for me... that one dude was a programmer and killer C-C-C-Combo!
