Interesting.  I got 17 after saying my confidence in guessing was very low.
But I did realize I was using most of the clues they discuss at the end of
the test.

If I was interviewing a programmer for a job and he said he could program
really well in MS Access, I would assume he was lying anyway.  Especially if
he said his age was less than 50.  Unless he was a contributor to this list
:)
