Deary me...

I only (?) got 77, but I feel it should probably have been higher.
Have I programmed a C64? No, but I have done a little programming on a
ZX Spectrum. Likewise for using one.

Likewise, I'd be interested to know the scoring for the "CD" question.
I said Compact Disc, although I suspect change directory is taken as
"geekier". I didn't say change directory because that would be cd, not
CD. Am I geekier or not?

As for the ROT13 and ASCII questions, think outside the box! :) I did
pattern matching rather than actually trying to figure out what
individual characters stood for.

I suppose it's not necessarily bad you having a high score, what with
you being prez 'n all.
