The first time I got 90%, because I didn't expect an answer to *actually* be 'none of the above' and for the last question I stopped after eliminating the first two wrong from left to right, without stopping to see that they were all even.
Apparently 2% of people got it all right -- interesting because I only did because I saw Naath's correction of one question, so I knew what I was supposed to put. Or maybe that's the idea -- they want to date people who correct the quiz.
I think "nothing" is a perfectly acceptable answer to "What is the decimal value of the binary 0000?" though I couldn't be bothered to check if it was also valid.
Ultimate binary quiz! Yay! With no mention of: negatives, one's complement, fractions, bitwise operators. I'm not sure, I *may* have written assembly language in my sleep. If you go to bed thinking about something you've been doing...
