I read the Morning Brew among others nearly every day.  They have a weekly news quiz that covers all facets of online noise with five questions  I occasionally get all five right but usually miss one or two.  Today I got ONE right.  Damn work is impinging my ability to KNOW EVERYTHING!


But, they also had this quiz which I enjoyed mostly because I did get it right:





I usually hate these kind of puzzles and likely would not have done it with a four combo lock.  But three was just hard enough.

I'll put up the answer in a bit or you can sign up for it if you don't want to wait.

Woo, you’re right: I love it more for getting it right.

I do like this kind of thing.

Oops, got it wrong. I got two of the digits right but fluffed the other one in my excitement. I think i was on a high from solving this one earlier today: http://jimbly.github.io/regex-crossword/ (if you don't know what a regular expression is, it will not make any sense).

I have also been spending a lot of time on https://www.jigsawplanet.com/ lately. It's meditative.

Yeah... I don't even play in that ball park. A regular expression is dependent on your geographic location. Ya'll in the south. You Guys in Brooklyn. And the like.

I got as far as SQL DBA before I realized that any programming gene or math gene was burned out in my high school days.
