I'll appoint a panel of judges to select the questions. We will select no more than one from anybody that takes the quiz. We will give the quiz some time during the reunion (maybe late Saturday morning?). The judges will grade the quiz and award prizes, if there are any (see below). The answer must be true/false, multiple choice, or require a simple answer, such as a number or name. I don't plan to help grade any essays 8^). Please let me know what goofy prize you will bring and donate for the quiz. So, you must: 1. Submit your question(s) to me only and tell me if you are planning to participate in the quiz. 2. Tell me what prize you have to offer. Here are a couple of sample questions (I didn't say they are good ones, just examples): 1. What is John Backus' mother-in-law's maiden name? 2. What is printed when the following program is run (bringing PDAs with Fortran compilers to the quiz will not be allowed)? assign 4 to n go to 44 6 assign 66 to n go to n 8 print *, 44 assign 6 to n go to 88 4 print *, 88 44 assign 8 to n 88 go to n 66 end -- Walt Brainerd +1-877-355-6640 (voice & fax) The Fortran Company +1-520-760-1397 (outside USA) 6025 N.
