Can you tell the difference between a nurd and a serial killer?

I scored 5/10.

9/10

Some basic reasoning about what is presented makes the educated guess quite effective.

9 out of ten. I recognized many of the killers. I like to read about serial killers.

I got a perfect score. That is to say, while deliberately trying to pick the wrong one, I got a 0.

Hah.

I had a 8/10, but I didn't realize there were so many Russian serial killers. So much for gun bans, huh?

And why didn't the computer programmer-turned-serial killer count for both?

It's a trick question...


There is no difference between a progamming language inventor and a serial killer...

I am an uber-nurd I guess......

7/10

Though to be fair, one of the guys I guessed was a computer programmer who turned out to be a murderer was technically both... he just wasn't a very good computer programmer. Trick question, in my opinion.

7/10 - Perhaps on the next version I'll be one of the pictures. I'll let you try to figure out from which side it'd be.

Hint: I'm studying to be a software engineer.

I think that was better than the last time I tried that test, though I don't remember any of the faces.

What's a "nurd"?nerd - nurd - knurd = drunk in reverse, i.e. the opposite of drunk.
So much so not-drunk, you need to drink a significant amount to become sober. ;)

Because he never wrote a programming language.

7/10 for me. A few I recognized, but most were guesses.

I guess I should work for the police since I have ESP now !!!111shift1one1!

No,I don't think that there are THAT many Russian serial killers,it's probably that s/he didn't want you to recognise any Americans or any killers you'd be familiar.

8/10. Mainly guesses, and trying to second guess how many consecutive killers/programmers the test would throw up. Didn't do so bad.

Ah, it strips away the fluffy pink cotton wool of life.
