| So, by now I am sure that most people have seen the latest edition of the H/PC Newsletter.
John has put a competition in this month, and so my question to all of you is...
How well did you do?

| 11,5 out of 12, within a few seconds, that 11th was a little tricky (chose the right answer, but wasnt entirely sure, hence the minus 0.5 )
there're a lot of typos in that test 
anyway! it was fun  (and easy, i have almost all of those in the test, or at least similar stuff )
i'd suggest publishing a test about hpcs every month  Edited by cmonex 2006-03-16 11:39 AM

Sorry about the typos - it was a last minute thing.....I should have done a better job of proofing! 
Hopefully, the typos have not ruined the enjoyment of taking the Quiz! 
BTW - You mean 11.5 out of 12 and not 11,5 Edited by Hurricane John 2006-03-16 12:06 PM

| John, fyi, many other cultures use the "," as a decimal. My Quebec neighbours do so.
I got 10/12. Pretty good considering I had to think hard about the older units, and I don't own any of them. A monthly quiz of sorts is a nice idea. It makes a very good newsletter even better. |

anyway i didnt mind the typos too much but it was strange to see them  |

Why is everyone saying 12? There's 14 questions... |
