He zoomed into a bridge too far!

22/38 = 57.89% 16/38 = 42.10% 43.14% of 38 = 16.39
They can't even math-wrong right.
Admin
@dpm: Out of 51 questions he answered 38. He gave 16 wrong and 22 correct answers. 22/51=43.137%

I bid 3 No Zoom

And, despite having the percentage correct, the number of questions answered is 17+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1... Or 39.
I'm not even going to guess how the 17 got there.
Admin
Somebody made a string and then + 1-ed everything.
Admin
Wow! Great thinking. If
total = 1+7
was somehow stringified into "17", then iterating over the rest would produce just that.Languages with no type system are like bikes with training wheels. So "easy" to ride that they're very hard to ride well. And somehow languages like that have become the standard in our slap-dash industry.
Admin
Obviously it's a gmail address, when the string Google is contained. Remembers me of clbuttical.
Admin
Off by one error. It should have been 16 for the wrong answers because then you get 38.
