• Absolutely ridiculous!

    What is the point of a trick question on a technical forum?

    Maybe you could argue that as developers we need to pay attention to the smallest detail, but that's a pretty thin argument when we're coming here to challenge our knowledge, not our powers of observation.

    A question about AND and OR is good, working out the answer is a pleasant diversion, discovering that it wasn't a question about AND or OR at all but rather an exercise in hiding the word 'bit' amongst a list of 'int's and seeing who noticed... really disappointing, to the point of making me angry!

    I'm sorry - I know people put effort into making up the questions and they could have a legitimate point that I have no right to complain when I don't submit questions of my own, but this is just annoying.
