Sorry, ancient Greek not good enough to know what danerdos should mean (and hence I've missed the joke). Figures: my geek rating was only 23.66846%.

A) It's Latin.
2) It's a pun. Eewww! A pun?

Is higher than my score by a number very close to the square root of 2.

I figured, too late to edit, that it was Latin, not Greek (Virgil?). I also figured that it's a pun - but what? Is it about bewaring the givers of operating systems?

even though I exaggerated on this test to score better, I ranked only 20.11834%.

Higher than mine, shanks. I only rated a 21.5%. And that was with 5 extra points for being a GRRL!  PS That surprises me, tsuwm. I would've put you much higher on the scale. that's a compliment, you know

Did it actually give you .5% with no more decimals? I thought they might be taking the percentages over a ratio of answers to a prime number so that you would have to get a number of decimal places. It looks as though I was wrong. Bother.

No, you're probably right, shanks. I just wasn't geeky enough to transcribe the entire 6-digit extension, so I rounded it.

that's 5 points out of ~500, or as the pop-up notes, 1%. (I should get a point for noticing that!)
