We promised you an online quiz in the last issue of Technology, and now here it is. It has been set by Huw Pryce of Cherwell School, Oxford who chose the questions (mostly) to be difficult to answer even if you do use Google - which of course you won't need to..
So here are the first two. We'll give the answers along with the next questions tomorrow.
1) Which famous program, written in LISP, says it will send departing users an electronic mail 'bill' when run on the Unix operating system? (Bonus question: why and when was it censored?)
2) Who were the first known users of a floating-point algorithm, which had conditional branches and iterations?
From tomorrow onwards if you need to find questions and answers, just choose the "Challenges" category (in blue above) and click on it.
