The example doesn't show anything of the sort (at best, it fails to show that the answer "they're both the same" is wrong). Certainly, if you were thinking about the problem and did not see the answer immediately, you would try to work through an example. But you would not offer this example as your final answer, since it is merely useful as a stage of working in your head (not as a stage of working in giving a rigorous proof).
Correct answer: Each container contains the same amount of blue paint as the other does red, therefore it's the same.
Trying to do an explanation like you did shows that you did not have the abstract thinking which is exactly what the testers were looking for by asking the question.
The supposedly 'harmless' easter egg might actually be a terrorist program. For example, look up "primenum.c" in IOCCC.org: does it actually do what you think it does, and any QA officer would think?
(PS. I would post a link, if said site were not down).
How do you explain the millions of dollars of damage in illiteracy rates and unintelligence done to the general populace by the perpetuation of such lexical abominations as "virii" ?
Actually it isn't; the farmer who owns the land is quite pissed off at all the people coming to his farm and trying to trespass. The set has been dismantled. However, they are planning to recreate all the sets at various other locations, for the purpose you mentioned.
I don't agree with this. Certainly , useless comments suck, but "free the array" is not entirely useless here.
It is easy to look down a function and quickly pick out all the English strings so you know what it does. It takes a little longer to pick the meaning of the code segment you gave, and even then, requires a little bit of consciousness, so you may miss it when browsing quickly.
Of course this assumes that your code actually does what the comments say -- but if not then you shouldn't be programming
If you enter that url then it changes to http://www.nytimes.com/auth/login?URI=http://www.n ytimes.com/2001/12/04/science/physical/04SQUA.html and you get a stupid form to fill out. NYTimes doesn't "get my click" if they don't give me the story, and I don't think they will stop posting interesting articles just because I don't join their spam list.
Haivng a technically minded guy around is great..:)
The wall-ports at my work each have 6 ethernet connections, one BNC, and two telephone jacks.
6 you may ask? Well, since ethernet only uses four of the eight wires in the cat5 cable, so you can send two connections down one cable (and out one wall jack), although you need a splitter cable (easy to make) if you want to get the second connection out of it of course:)
Then, all the ports are wired up via the walls to a central switchboard where you can use short pieces of cable to connect the network any way you like. It's brilliant:)
PowerMenu has given this for months (years?) on the corner menu of each window, as well as the option to set OS priority, and windows Always On Top. Essential stuff to have around.

What is the point of the RIAA?
It seems to me that all it does is collect the lion's share of a band's earnings, for no apparent reason.

Bzzt, wrong.

Unless, of course, you enable displaying of extensions in IE (which you are foolish not to)
If you want the book, go read the book. Don't go to a movie theatre and look for it.

On a par? Borland C++Builder kicks VC++'s ass.
The only reason it's not the market leader is because of paranoid droids who go for an "all-Microsoft" development environment, for unclear reasons.
Even Turbo C++ 3.0 , buggy as it was, was so easy to use that (in its time) it was one of the leading compilers.

Because it is possible for a rock to turn into a bird, although this is pretty unlikely (even less likely than USA winning the soccer World Cup).
You need to either revise your use of 'know' to 'very strongly believe', or introduce a probability threshold for 'know'.
