The actual teapot was taller. An non-square aspect ratio in the 3D coordinates caused it to get this shape
As soon as you said "This next one is going to be a sound" I knew it was going to be the dial up modem haha. Thanks for this wonderful time!
I was expecting windows 95 haha
Or WXP
That sounds like a standard v.34 handshake to me. A v.92 would have that satisfying DIL sequence.
Sounded like a 54kbps connect, but the sound cut off at the end, could have been a full 56kbps connect.
I also thought of modem when he said there is going to be sound.
I managed 29, heavily aided by being old enough to remember the first moon landings, let alone dial up modems.
That modem noise brings me back. It's a 56k modem. In this particular audio clip, the calling modem stops transmitting after the handshake causing the host modem to try to renegotiate.
Lattice modulation!
The sound reminds me of loading games on a C64 back in the day...but the worst sound? - that 'click' as the tapedeck stops on another load fail :)
_Interesting Music Ensues..._
*THE SOUND OF MY CHILDHOOD*
it's crazy how many people didn't know about ATM0.
Lena compression:
if first bit is 1: output Lena picture
Else, next bits are the image data
26, but with a few lucky guesses. I've heard several times that the Apollo had less computing power than a [Game Boy, etc.], but I had no idea it had only 4kb of RAM! Very fun, thank you!
They had some weird word length more than 8 and less than 16 bits, and error checking built in. I seemed to remember one core memory module having on the order of hundreds of words, and there were I think 4 modules, and two computers in total (for different modules/tasks). At first I thought 64k, but then I remembered that those bits were large enough that you could see the hole inside them when held against the light :D
28/30. I wanted to answer Wozniak twice. And somehow I had in mind they were basically flying with a C64 to the moon, but it was even less memory, impressive. RIP John Conway.
Cool quiz apart from Alan Turing not discovering anything but just formalising the findings of Polish cryptographers.
John Conway, Requiescat In Pace!
Turing did not discover the weakness of the Enigma machine. The weakness was discovered by the Polish cryptographers Zygalski and Rejewski. Zygalski invented a method for cracking an earlier version of the Enigma machine using pairs of perforated sheets of paper. But the method did not work for later version of the Enigma machine. What Turing did was he developed a method of adapting the Zygalski and Rejewski analysis into a machine called the Bombe which could crack the more sophisticated versions of the Enigma machine.
The 3.5 inch floppy was indeed originally specced to hold 1.44mb of data. However, some companies developed drives that could cram 2.88mb onto those discs.
That's interesting! 10 extra points, well done! :)
by far the most humorous computer science related channel. love your stuff.
Chris signed ya up on patreon man your material is just priceless shear gold. The time and effort you put into the videos deserves a return. Look forward to the next vid mate.
As always, everything what you do is very good, please never stop. Greetings from Argentina!
Thanks heaps for watching, greetings from Australia :)
As soon as you said it was gonna be a sound question, I knew it would be a modem dial-up
17 year old american high school CS nerd here. I got a 22/30, or 77.5% which translates to a C+ on the american grading standard. If only I could get one more + on there... Had lots of fun and learned lots of new things! Thanks for putting this video up and I hope to see more like it!
7:30 Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I would have specified that this is in two's complement.
10:50 Her name's actually spelled with one "n". She endorsed the misspelling because she wanted English-speaking people to pronounce her name correctly.
That's actually pretty interesting. I knew it was spelled Lena but I didn't know the pronunciation.
Same, I have been mispronouncing it as Leena my whole life. (In my head; I'm not sure I've ever had the opportunity to speak out loud about the history of image processing with other humans).
Lovely to see the little Neal Stephenson shout-out at 8:20; the reason I know most of what I know about Turing. :)
I really want more of these, such good information, I would easily come back once a week just for this
Final question. What' s a Creel ? 22 answers right.
Hahaha, great score mate! Cheers for sharing :)
28! Didn't get the ENIAC and Utah teapot ones. In fact, I'd never even heard of the Utah teapot, I guessed Seattle because it sounded more tech-y.
That's a might fine score mate! Cheers for sharing :)
LOL, I went with that logic for the teapot too. My branch predictor missed though.
great video, thanks for your work creel!
Missed exactly one per round. Also predicted before even being told the categories that you'd say "IEEE 754" at some point in the video. Which I was right.
19/30, awesome video as always, Love you man
No relevant academic background - scored 21/30
round 1 - 8/10
round 2 - 6/10
round 3 - 7/10
number formats - 4/6
general knowledge - 5/6
important people - 3/6
acronyms/terms - 5/6
pictures/sounds - 4/6
Did guess quite a bit though
I'm suprised you were able to keep a straight face at the cryptonomicon.
Oh, I remember seeing the 2020 Jimmy Carr lockdown quiz! I somehow missed this video when you made it.
You're honestly telling me that Eric Idle, the author of the Python language, was not the father of information theory, Bruce? I'm gonna fishslap you while I'm dancing!
I thought Eric Idle was a British comedian that the IDLE Python IDE was named after?
Python was written by Guido van Rossum?
@@mileswilliams527 Yep, OP was joking.
Another cheerful burst of hilarity from my guy creel
Cheers for stopping by mate :)
Good stuff, was very interesting. Your channel has lots of good content. Just discovered it.
Cool quiz. Thanks for making it. I got 9/10 in each, total of 27.
22. Pretty good questions in there! Thanks! It was fun!
Although I'm very late to find this quiz I love it lol good work. I used to work for a company that made modems and could tell you the speed they connected at by listening to the sounds not any more though. 7/8/10
This was so much fun! got a 20 though, I've got to dive more into these subjects
I got 20 out of 30 and about a less than half of them were guesses (mostly the history ones :P). I really enjoyed it! Thanks for the video quiz!
For being a completely green CS bachelor, I’m pretty happy with 24
7 points in the first round
7 points for round 0b10
I got 70%, 80%, and 90%. Some seemed like gimmes, while others I'd never heard of.
Nice scores! I tried to mix it up a little :)
26 correct.
Round 1: 7/10 correct
1) Yottabyte (I knew it wasn't Petabyte, and had a 50/50 chance of guessing right, but I failed)
6) Bill Gates (I thought that was too obvious, and guess John Titus)
9) Utah Teapot (I had no idea, and just guessed Seattle)
Round 2: 10/10 correct
Round 3: 9/10 correct
4) 4 kilobytes (I guessed 16 kilobytes)
Great score mate!
Hard drive defrag was really funny 😂
This was fun. 6/10, 9/10, 10/10. (25/30) Had to warm up a bit I guess. Before I even heard the sound for the last question I said to myself “here comes a dial up modem sound...”
Also appreciated that fairly random callout to the antikythera device. The time spent on wikipedia finally paid off.
I got 7/10 7/10 8/10, so a total of 22/30
RIP Mr Conway :'c
Nice score! RIP John Conway :(
Cheers mate! Great video!, hey would you consider redoing CUDA series? I’ve been into it a lot, I just watch all your videos on the topic, they are great! But the only thing is that now a days there is a more updated version on the toolkit, and there aren’t no good and not so much resources on the topic. Cheers!
Got 27/30 as a recent college grad. I didn't know who the model was, if a Yottabyte was larger than a Zetabyte, or how many bits were required to represent the floating point integer.
24/30, I was amused at Eric Idle from Monty Python ;)
7/10, 8/10 and finished with a strong 10/10 :) Thanks for the quiz.
I got 29, since I didn't recognise the Atari 2600. Thanks very much for the quiz!
8 right in round 1
9 right in round 2 (though I guessed at one of the right answers)
7 right in round three. (Those first 4 tripped me up, only got the second right.)
So a total of 24 correct.
Mostly got names and the teapot wrong., which is about what I expected. :P
Last question is so nostalgic. Brought a tear to my eyes.
29. I’d forgotten that the image was of Lenna.
Good quiz. Will you do more?
Great score! I'd like to do more, yes. Would be fun to get 3 or 4 up. Just a matter of finding time to record and edit. Anywho, cheers for sharing mate, you smashed it!
Same here, but I got it right on a guess.
You just didn't recognise it without seeing the full length version.
Good job. I was feeling pretty good myself. I guessed wrong on the image. Never seen it before.
My wife and I are such computer science nerds that we're naming our daughter Lena in her honor... XD Fun fact: That picture is from playboy and it's clipped so you don't see the girl's exposed nipple
I got 23 total. Could have been higher, but it's almost 3am here. One answer I realized the correct answer, but forgot which letter it was, so I didn't count it. I think I only guessed on some of the NAME questions (I laughed at "Tina Turner" and "Barry Manilow", nice). The rest were pretty easy. The BASIC licensing was really easy as most Computers back then used Microsoft BASIC of some sort. The C64 did, CBM PET did, most of those early BASIC's were Microsoft (Bill Gates).
Oh, the first computer which lead to computers that cracked the Enigma was a wooden one with gears and such. Cracking the German Enigma was vital to winning WW2.
I ran several BBSes in the '90s so I heard that connection sound several times a day. :)
Such a sweet sound, that chirping of a modem :) I started with an 8086, and GW BASIC. I think that's Microsoft too? Really nice start into coding, I must say! Great score mate, cheers for sharing :)
@@WhatsACreel Yup, loved GW BASIC/BASICA. I still have it on my computer (via DOSBOX). Just need to pull out one of my old COMPUTE! magazines and start typing in one of their games. LOL
27 with a couple of guesses. Some good questions; thanks for the quiz.
I accidentally called a telefax number once and was greeted with a similar sound as the modem dial-up :)
Score: 22. I've never seen the teapot or the model before. ^^ Bonus question to make it harder -> Which protocol is heard in the last question: A) V.32 B) 56k C) V.34
30/30 Did the other quiz just posted and decided to try this one too.
Nice one! :)
Got 23; R1: 8, R2: 7, R3: 8. Admittedly did better than I thought I would. Feels weird scoring that high knowing that I'm not old enough to be considered a wizard. But had fun still. I seriously thought the Apollo used 16KB of RAM though, when you said 4KB I had to look it up again.
27/30, honestly a lot more than i expected
Nice idea, this quize. It was fun to follow along. Probably got 21 or so? Didn't keep perfekt track.
Love how almost everything in round 1 as b though... :D
9/10,10/10,9/10=28/30; missed the name of the teapot and the number of bits for the exponent in single-precision floating numbers. Thanks for the quiz!
Thank you, this was fun! 7/10 8/10 and 8/10, 23/30 total.
R1: 7/10
R2: 8/10
R3: 6/10
T: 21/30
Nice one mate! Some were pretty hard, either you've heard of em or not. Cheers for watching and sharing :)
Hah, the first thought I ever had when seeing one of your video is "why is Eric Idle talking about assembly language?"
29/30, had no idea how much memory the apollo guidance computer had, picked 16k
Wow! Must admit, I didn't know either, until making this quiz! Really amazing stuff :)
26 of 30 from Germany! That was entertaining. Thx.
This was very well done, excellent questions (I even got one or two right!)
17:24 You cut the sound clip too soon! - I was waiting for the 'click of despair' as the tapedeck reaches the end of the tape e.g. another The Hobbit cassette load fail on the Commodore 64 😄(turns azimuth screw to try again on the copy).
I got 29. Admittedly Benoit Mandelbrot was more of a guess but I'll take it. Lenna got me.
21, 6 in the 1st round, 7 in the 2nd and 8 in the 3rd.
I got 20, but the bit conversion ones carried me hard, I did that stuff last semester :D
The bit stuff is easier once you know it, remembering names and dates can be harder as you get older.
Here's what I mean, once you learn binary, truth tables, logic, binary algebra and the different types of encoding, you can never really unlearn them. Log2(n) is a very easy system to work with and it is also very easy to convert consecutive sets of 4 Log2(n) digits (bits) each into a single Log16(n) digit, and the opposite conversion is true. Example for those who may not know.... 0000 - 1111 maps to 0x0 - 0xF.
Now as for names, dates, places, etc... this depends on the person and their memory... some people never forget where others just can't remember all of the details. Sometimes you may remember everything when you are younger but as you grow older you may end up forgetting or not being able to recall things you once knew. This doesn't mean you don't know it as that doesn't change, but we all have long term and short term memory and there are many factors that can inhibit this...
8/10/9
i dont know frum nuttin about no floating point
question for you. What did G=c800:5 do back in the day?
btw, i DID listen to the sound my drive made as it defragged because i could tell when it was messing up. i was deeply upset when drives became quiet,
My score: 5/10 7/10 9/10
Nice quiz!
Nice quiz :-)
The teapot (r1q9) and the model (r2q10) were my only problems. total 28
Thank you it was fun I got 28/30. Please do it again with harder questions
Great score mate! I'd like to do more, yes! Maybe challenge rounds or something? Cheers for watching :)
Got 20 points. Proud of getting Atari question right 🐸 even though I've never had one.
29. Forgot Mandelbrot's first name. Very fun!
Cheers mate! Great score :)
I got 7 then 8 then 9. That was a lot of fun!
9/7/10 :) Good fun!
yeee 27 right answers ! great video
25. I'm deeply ashamed that I fell for the Eric Idle one
Hahaha! The Pythons are great!
5/10 7/10 8/10 = 20/30
Not bad for only basic Computer science knowledge.
24, this was fun
27 / 30. It shows that I haven't done much image processing on a computer, as I got the teapot and the test image wrong. I hesitated with ENIAC and chose "computer" as I thought it was bound to be a trick question. With the AGC I guessed, but correctly - I believe it has about 64k memory in total, but I think most of it is ROM.
Managed 7 in each round for 0x15
sorry did not finish, got sidetracted and read up on image processing in a November 1972 magazine :-)
Haha, there's a doco they made recently - Finding Lena Forsen: The Patron Saint of JPEGS. I think she's proud and surprised to this day! Such a great story!
7s across the board, so passing at least
Dang that was hard but also fun.
7 8 10 gotta brush up on the trivia lol
8/10 | 6/10 | 8/10 Please make more :-D
Wow, I did it far better than I expected, 25, I guess I am more nerd than I thought :D :D :D I mean it in a good way. This was really fun! thanks!
My points: 8/10, 10/10 and 9/10; so final result: 9/10.
I got 28 right, although with 4 lucky guesses.
Errors: the name of the model and what that ancient computer they found was.
26, with two guesses. Got the Utah-Teapot wrong (now I know why it was the "Hello World"-Analog of 3D Studio Max). Also didn't know Donald Knuth, Lady Lenna and the 8Bit exponent in IEEE754.
28
1:10/10
2:9/10
3:9/10
didnt know lenna or the nasa ship ram
23, but if I only count the ones I really knew I got 20.
26... Good quiz
I lost the teapot, the model and Apollo RAM. No shame so far, but I also (amazingly) lost the size prefix! So that's 26/30
27
Dang. Missed one each round. Didn't know the teapot, the graphics, and fluffed the single precision exponents bits.
Disappointed lack of Gene Amdahl, so Awaiting round 4. . . .
Unfortunately I did pretty well on this!
Ha, great mate! Always meant to make a series of quizzes, maybe I should make more :)
Think I'm tired got two technical questions wrong! 28/30
24/30.
Only got the last question correct because I remembered it from Halt and Catch Fire
Have you tried OpenMP?
Got one wrong: I didn't know the model's name, but I do know why the image is famous. I was expecting the question to be: why is she famous. D'oh.
Missed the which of yotta and zetta was largest, otherwise all correct.
