5 out of 9! And I never even went to college. That still leaves almost half of the code unremediated... good thing I don't work on any y2k teams.

Well, it's a nice quiz except ... In order to minimize spoilage for those yet to take it, I'll just say that it's not internally consistent and at least one question should count both Yes and No as correct answers.

6 OUT OF 9. Now I know why I have never studied programming. i'm a better guesser.

4 of 9, and I AM a programmer. It just goes to show that we make changes based on our perception of what the problem is, not what it may really be. That's why testing is SO important.

6 of 9...but I KNOW how difficult it is to remediate when the variable names are not reasonable...
