“Secure from Missile Defense Quarters, Restow All Gear…”
OK, so trying to get back to some semblance of normalcy around these parts now that the rogue satellite has been dispatched. We’re hoping the powers-that-be relent in their parsimonious attitude towards releasing video of the event, but given some of the organizations involved, doubt that will happen anytime soon. Likewise being able to tell…

That was a lot of fun! although there must have been a mistake in the calculating.
10% scored higher
0% scored the same
90% scored lower SUPREME NERD. Apply for a professorshop at MIT now!!! 😯

I scored a 28.
But then, chick’s dig me! (Especially the one who lets me live in her home, pays for my Trawler and sailboat)
I figured I got pegged on the calculator (still using my HP-41CV — RPN forever!) and having the microscope, telescope (8″ newtonian reflector BTW) AND I still have my slide rule from freshman/sophmore year. All that and a Poli Sci major – go figure…

But what did you expect for a formere grunt with a BA WW II History and an MA in Civil War History!
😯 😯 dear DC and Albany Rifles: You can’t have been trying very hard. I’m a lowly civilian who doesn’t even much like anything sci-fi, is retired from nursing, AND is Canadian so you must try again…please.
Still, it was a lot of fun. Thank you, and I hope that your commuting woes go a little smoother.

Oh well, mid-level nerd — that’s me. I got a 76. Probably explains why I’m a computer tech-type.
Hey, my HP RPN calculator is the *only* one I can use and get correct answers! Had a miserable time with a graphing calculator when I had to be non-RPN.
At least HP still makes an RPN calculator for when this one dies … 😛
98%, only 2% higher. Of course as a guy who has written software for web sites, missile systems, fighter planes, and satellites it sorta figures I should score high. RPN for the non-geeky is Reverse Polish Notation and it has nothing to do with the country Poland.
