The Greatest Nerd Test I Have Ever Taken

[Jonathan Callan]

This thing has been down for a few years, so I thought it was lost to the sands of time forever. But with that archiving website, I managed to find an old build of the cite. This thing was so hard, it used to take myself, my fantasy/roleplaying friend and our computer science friend to answer most of the questions. It is challenging and amusing.

Let me know how you nerds score.

[SteveZegers]

I'm a well-balanced nerd.

[Blake Sims]

Like 9% thank god...

[Gunter]

I'm only 50%.

Is that good...or bad? I can't tell.

[shoelaceless]

40 point something percent. I guess that's good...?

[Ben Rosen]

Like 9% thank god...

same. but man, i dont know if shoelaceless is cool enough to keep reading our thread...

[Amos Moses]

38%

I should've picked the ridiculous answers instead of guessing when I didn't know to get a better result.

[Joe Kalicki]

38%

Same here.

[GrandeMaestro Fünke]

21%, but I really only knew like 4.

[Whip]

19%. I am a n00b.

I guessed on like...90% of these. :D

[shoelaceless]

same. but man, i dont know if shoelaceless is cool enough to keep reading our thread...

I'm as surprised as you are. I don't think I really knew more than three answers. It was miraculous guessing I suppose.

[Dreaded Anomaly]

64+(2/7)%. :nerd:

Some of that is from good guessing, though.

[SgtPepper]

64.28571428571429% nerd blood flows through your veins.

I'm very disturbed that I did better than WinterRose's posted score from that thread.

:scared:

Ouch.

[ShortStack]

19%!! Geez. It's my lack of sci fi knowledge and the weird D&D systems I use that did me in.
no comics questions, I would have been better at that..

[tenaciousxtiff]

26.19047619047619% nerd blood flows through your veins.

Along with the few others, a couple were good guess.

But then again, i did just watch Army of Darkness very recently...

Extra nerd points, what movie did that quote originate from?

[Girlfriend In A Coma]

50% god help me

[shoelaceless]

The Day the Earth Stood Still. But that's not nerdy, it's a classic!

[Fake Pat]

It's a nerd classic.

[danlomb]

Tough test...

5. I've just started up a game of CounterStrike 1.5. I'm on CT, the map is de_dust2. In the buy menu I hit 1-3. The weapon im buying is a(n):

brilliant

[The Human Target]

52.38

Thats about right.

[Jonathan Callan]

I'm only 50%.

Considering this is the hardest nerd test ever? Good, I'd say. If you want to be a nerd. My score was 51%.

[Jonathan Callan]

64+(2/7)%. :nerd:

I think that is the highest score I'm aware of anyone getting on a first try. You must play a lot of computer games, know binary, Hitchhiker's guide and Monty Python. Congrats.

I was TREMENDOUSLY surprised I still remembered how to calculate THACO.

[xyzzy]

I was TREMENDOUSLY surprised I still remembered how to calculate THACO.

I played pre-THACO, but knowing that it stood for To Hit AC 0 made it fairly easy to figure out.

[Scotty]

54% respectable

Let me put it this way; You sass that hoopy SgtPepper? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is.

Isn't scoring a repitend decimal a nerd accomplishment in its own right?

[The Dean]

[DeluxeVoltron]

pretty good test

I recognized the (2/7) fraction in decimal form, I should get a few more points for that.

[lovewillkill]

47%. Some of my guesses were on the mark. I think I only missed 2 that I thought I knew.
