If you’re upset at the apparent non-nerdiness of last week’s question, feel free to calculate the amount of fiber in our smoothies out to 17 significant figures.  In hindsight, I should have probably asked how many grams of fiber a smoothie has.  Apologies.  The answer to the previous question is the Ray Palmer with 6.150 grams of fiber.

This week’s question is much nerdier:

How many characters of data did it take to render the following image.

If you’re into games with dice (and who isn’t?), you will probably shake your head in amazement as much as I did at this dice roll generator.

I love Space Invaders.  I play so much that I see them when I sleep.

So why not have these in my iced coffee as well?

Play online here.

Buy these ice cube trays here.

I don’t usually share my secrets, but…

…sometimes sharing just makes the world a better place.

Yes, I do spend most of the money my coffee institutions earn at the following secret site:

Only time will tell if this was a wise decision.

The answer for last week’s question was Jeff Moss, a.k.a The Dark Tangent.  He is the founder of Defcon.

Continuing our security theme, this week’s question is:

Which of the following passwords would be the best password to use, assuming someone was trying to guess your password with only a randomized brute force attack (trying all permutations of all characters, up to the possible length of the password, in random order)?

  • 3gE9*^1b
  • leonard
  • perfectcoffee
  • 495068734

Who cares how it looks…

as long as it helps me get a higher score?!

The iPhone doesn’t have many shortcomings, but I do occasionally wish I could control it better when playing games.  With this new grippy thingy surrounding my iPhone I’m sure to increase my scores.
