Now, here it is! Just as I promised. There is one question: someone
told me that I should upload it to some anonymous ftp place. I thought
of uploading this to deja-vu.aiss.uiuc.edu - do you know how to do this
(I mean, how do I upload - I perfectly know how to download)?
Anyway, if someone does it for me, I'll be much relieved (I'm filled with
work these days). If so, please mail me telling me so.

------ THE HACKER TEST - Version 1.1 ------

Preface to version 1.0 (06.16.89):
 
This test was conceived and written by Felix Lee, John Hayes and Angela
Thomas at the end of the spring semester, 1989. It has gone through many
revisions prior to this initial release, and will undoubtedly go through
many more.
 
(Herewith a compendium of fact and folklore about computer hackerdom,
cunningly disguised as a test).

------
 
Scoring: count 1 for each item that you have done, or each question
         that you can answer correctly.

If you score is between:         you are
 
0x000 and 0x010       ->         a Computer Illiterate
0x011 and 0x040       ->         a User
0x041 and 0x080       ->         an Operator
0x081 and 0x0C0       ->         a Nerd
0x0C1 and 0x100       ->         a Hacker
0x101 and 0x180       ->         a Guru
0x181 and 0x200       ->         a Wizard

Version 1.1 addendum:

Done in 9/nov/1992 by Miguel Farah. Changes are these:
1) question numbers now in hex (to give more consistency).
2) questions 0xB1, 0x162, 0x18A and 0x1D5 added to give a total of 0x200
   and not only 0x1FC (that was a bug in v1.0 since it was supposed to
   have 0x200 (three headers (71, 77 and 504) counted as questions; the
   question 245 was missing)).
3) there were two duplicated questions in the 'Operating systems' and
   'Unix' sections ("Can you use [non]{BSD, Berkeley} UNIX?"). They were
   removed from the 'Unix' part (questions 482 and 483) and replaced
   with questions 0x1EF and 0x1F0 in order to maintain the 0x200 total.
