100, 1 to hold the light bulb and 11 to de bug the house
Yeah, there are 10 types of people
People who understand binary, people who don’t understand binary, and people who realize the joke was in ternary all along.
I don’t remember, that was a long time ago, but I think the answer must have been B., considering the rest of the game.
Yes, I played the game in 1987.
Yes, I’m old.
My uncle had it on his computer. I redid that quiz a bunch of times because the older you seemed, the more of the first lady’s pixels were visible! I remember there being at least 50 pixels …
My favorite question was " what happened at the bay of pigs" the correct answer was “a big mistake”
That was LSL3
For the d) answer:
(On my work laptop)
“If a programmer can change a lightbulb in 5 minutes, 5 programmers can change a ligthbulb in 1.”
So if a couple can have a baby in 9 months, 9 couples can have a baby in a month?
We will deliver one baby per month, yes.
Spoken like a true sales person
I dunno. How big a baby?
The real answer is management needs atleast 3-5 meetings to first discuss this with 10 developers 10 upstream developers 10 downstreams developers and business team for all. And after we spent 2-4 weeks of all this a lone developer who’s been saying we just screw it in gets the approval to do exactly that
Once it goes through CAB of course
Plus several meetings with the customer to see if there is budget for an upgrade, discuss if they want if brighter, bigger or more efficient, and writing it down in specifications so nobody can say they needed it to be bigger the moment you walk in with the new bulb. Also maybe schedule a few demo lighting sessions to get everyone up to speed and a bit of training for the light switch operator to handle this new responsibility.
How many programmers does it take to screw in a light bulb?
a. None, it’s a hardware problem.
b. None, programmers can’t fit in light bulbs.
c. 100. One to hold the bulb and 99 to debug the house.
d. None so far, but they’ll get to it Real Soon Now.
All answers are correct.
1, but it takes 12 hours because of the amount of documentation they need to do
Not in 1987.
Do not worry. Alt-X bypasses the question.
Which is unnecessary for this particular one, since it’s one of the ones where all of the answers are considered correct 😁
They really tried hard to keep kids out of the game!!1! :D
They did on plenty of the other questions, but I for one am happy that they failed as I loved the game as a 7yo 😄
I blame management for the existence of option d
Same. It’s the exception rather than the rule when they DON’T set unrealistic deadlines while understaffing and underpaying.
Possible plot twist: there is no correct answer and to pass this age check you should skip this one.
It’s actually the opposite (this one is only there for entertainment so all the answers are counted as correct), but good guess! 😁
3, one product manager, one scrum master and one programmer.
