I am too old for this....

30.952380952380952

Do not know the newer gaming stuff, but guessed on the AD&D stuff (it has been 22 years since I played). What was the real reference on the Badger, Weasel, Snake one? All I could think of was Alan Dean Foster's Spellsinger series. But since I watched the first US runs of the Monty Python series in the 70's, I got that one, I think.

After 23 minutes, still chugging away at my score (Netscape 7.1. Yeah, I know. I read his warning.)
After aboot 20 minutes I gave up and hit the back button. It looked like all my answers were erased and then just for shite, I hit the forward button. And lo and behold I got an answer:

52.38095238095238% nerd blood flows through your veins.

And then it occurs to me that I am more nerd than not, which is not saying that I'm mostly nerd, which is to say, not all nerd. And then following this dizzying mental path, I realized there were no Princess Bride questions. And we all know you never go against a Sicilian, when *death* is on the line.


hahahahahahahha... erk.

If it wasn't for AnandTech forums, especially ATOT, I'm sure my score would have been 10-15 percentage points lower. That badger thingy is evil. :D

I got all the computer geek stuff right, and the 42, 6x9 and base 13 questions.... also all the video game questions (100 for each charge + 150 for the weapon I think)...

I guessed on the names, but figured out the D&D numbers logically...

DEAR GOD.

Oh, and you mozilla people. Mine appeared to not be loading. Click the scrollbar and it'll render. It's a bug of some sort.

I think I'm relieved that I didn't do better.
