I would guess that B is the "correct" answer because it shows you're old enough to know a sex joke when you read one.

My uncle had it on his computer. I redid that quiz a bunch of times because the older you seemed, the more of the first lady's pixels were visible! I remember there being at least 50 pixels ...

My favorite question was " what happened at the bay of pigs" the correct answer was "a big mistake"

Create one baby in 9 months. Without loss of generality, assume a spherical baby. Every following month, use Banach-Tarski to turn one baby into two. Repeat exponentially for 2^n babies in month n+9.

The real answer is management needs atleast 3-5 meetings to first discuss this with 10 developers 10 upstream developers 10 downstreams developers and business team for all. And after we spent 2-4 weeks of all this a lone developer who's been saying we just screw it in gets the approval to do exactly that

Plus several meetings with the customer to see if there is budget for an upgrade, discuss if they want if brighter, bigger or more efficient, and writing it down in specifications so nobody can say they needed it to be bigger the moment you walk in with the new bulb. Also maybe schedule a few demo lighting sessions to get everyone up to speed and a bit of training for the light switch operator to handle this new responsibility.

My favourite light bulb joke is:

How many Morriseys does it take to change a light bulb? None, because there is a light and it never goes out.

Every other light bulb joke i hear, the number is arbitrary - it could be 10/100/1000 with no loss to the joke. But "none" and for that reason is the only possible correct answer to that joke.

How many IT security people does it take to screw in a light bulb? 50 to Palm the work off on the service desk and another 250 to block service desks access to be able to screw in the light bulb.

Another few hundred to make it seem like the original IT security were actually useful.. IT support get are still at the same amount of people.. They do the work and they get the blame.

Might be obvious, IT security at my company have no fucking idea what they're doing and just making random shit up to keep their jobs alive.

I now have to do IT support with one hand tied behind my back..
