Less Nerd than I Had Imagined

33.333333333333336% of me is a huge nerd! How about you?

ok, this post is another cop-out where i just link you to another quiz, but this quiz is awesome. the questions are really tough, and i didn't turn out to be any where near as nerdy as i had thought i was. i don't know if i should feel happy or sad about that. i knew what a lot of the questions were referring to, but i didn't know the actual answer. and it gives you this warm, proud feeling when you know the answer to an incredibly obscure, geeky question.

though i am rather proud of the fact that i couldn't answer most of the star trek and d&d questions. as nerd as i may be, i hope to never descend that deep into the realm of geek.

i do wish i knew binary though.

"45.23809523809524% nerd blood flows through my veins," apparently.

I thought the Star Trek questions were pretty easy, actually. Actually, I thought the Star Wards questions were pretty hard - they required a broad knowledge of the novels. I never did D&D, so that brought me down significantly. The gaming questions hurt me too.

I dispute the TI-89 question - "real" nerds use the venerable HP-48.

Oh, and binary is easy - the first digit is the ones and the rest are powers of two, so:

0001 - 1
0010 - 2
0100 - 4
1000 - 8

The meaning of life - 101010 - 42.

some how i knew the jo(h)n's would score well on this test.

im a nerd, but im pretty much limited to the star wars/computers/lotr/gaming areas of nerd.

although i did know that the proper response to "live long and prosper" is "peace and long life"

Yes, I thought as much. I am the king geek. 47.61904761904762% I am a well balanced nerd. It was a tought quiz, but I had an edge. I use to play a lot of AD&D and read a lot of AD&D books. Oh man........

There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
