MAXIMUM PC’S 16TH IRREGULAR

GEEK QUIZ

BY CHRIS LLOYD

 IT’S TIME TO SEE if you’ve been reading Maximum PC diligently and soaking up all the lovely techy knowledge, with one of our famously fiendish quizzes. We’ve concocted a set of questions that will tax your noodle on everything from processors and other hardware, through Windows, the internet, and onto what’s happening in the wider world of technology. Some of the questions are a little sneaky too—few will know the right answer, so you’ll have to use your judgment to make an educated guess, unless you really do know everything.

There are seven sections of seven questions. Tot up your scores, and we’ll discover what a brain box you are, or if you really shouldn’t be left alone with sharp objects. All in good fun.

We do realize that you can just search for the answers online of course. But where would the honor be in that? Try taking this challenge cleanly, and maybe you’ll be good enough for the Maximum PC College of Geekness. Here we go then, good luck people.
