6/10. I was just thinking that Bill Gates doesn't qualify for either category. He has not actually invented any programming language and they haven't found any bodies in his basement....yet.

6/10, but it was completely random, well except for the few serial killers I recognized. I didn't recognize any programers.

9/10 I would have got 10/10 but I tried to second guess myself on the first picture and picked the opposite thinking I had bad judgement.

I guess I don't! I am glad to know I can recognize a serial killer?
lol
Hope I never see a serial killer and if I do ever get creepy feelings I'll be freakin and running like a rabbit.

9/10
But I admit I do know my serial killers.

My new fave comedy Psychoville has had me looking up the names I didn't recognise (Chikatilo for example). Reece Shearsmith gave a very sinister singing Christie in episode 5

8/10. I know my geeks.

I recognized John Mauchly, although he was much older when I met him.
