10 out of 15… some were pretty tough, by the way
me too 10/15. I got # 1 (Ethernet), 6 (Apple logo), 9 (Google logo), 11 (Google nickname) and 12 (Remote control) wrong.
Was myself surprised at Google’s logo.
got 11/15. Got some lucky guesses. 2 (Addition Hotline), 10 (Patch Tuesday), 12 (Remote Control) and I don’t want to admit this one but 15 (CyberNet’s age). I love the picture of Homer though. Very appropriate.
By the way this is my first time posting here and this site is great. Thanks for all the work you do.
We were hoping to make some of them more on the challenging side.
Yay, a first time commenter! Feel free to comment in the future, we always appreciate them.

I would take the test with you guys, but it’s not exactly fair since I helped come up with the questions.

8/15 I got. Good enough…
