How well do you know HackerNews ? a Quiz

I adblocked that "Green Certified Site" nonsense a while ago. Did you know that it sends information about your machine back to their servers whenever HN is open in any tab... every five minutes or so?

It is also really invasive; your pointer goes anywhere near it, and it starts pulsing like crazy. That thing is the epitome of annoying malware.

Mmm, a better quiz would be how much do you read hacker news and include answering questions about a heap of the bigger threads.

I missed two. I typically interface HN via RSS, not the main "news" web UI, and never bothered to count the number of items on the first page. I really had no clue what language it was written in. Not too bad, I suppose, for signing up considerably less than a year ago.

Good quiz, though.

I had to make some lucky guesses on #7 and #8, but I'm a bit embarrassed by my perfect score. It's a sign that I'm succumbing to the hive mind :(

Probably time to turn on noprocrast.

Patting myself on the back for 8/10. I figured this submission would receive "Enough" votes, and obviously never took in the Green certification note.

I got 3 wrong - I'm ashamed <g>

pi*sqrt(5) out of 1010

6/10

8/10. I thought the last question was a trick, but the top bar IS orange so whatever.
