Ask HN: What are some interesting tech trivia questions?

2 points by alansmitheebk 8 years ago | 1 comment

I'm working on a multiple-choice quiz web app for fun (and to use for code samples). The questions are trivia about programming history and other arcana (it's intended to be fun for your coffee break, not a tech assessment of any kind).

I would love for people to post some interesting trivia questions and their answers!

Thanks in advance!

Not sure of the best way to word the question but the scope resolution operator in PHP (::) is called Paamayim Nekudotayim, which means double colon in Hebrew.
