A1200 Ultimate Quiz!

[Harrison]

Thanks to Zetr0 for creating a new classicamiga quiz, entitled "A1200 Ultimate Quiz"

How well do you really know the A1200? Do you think you know everything about this popular model? Try the quiz for yourself and really see how much you know.

Take the quiz now by going here. (http://forum.classicamiga.com/quiz.php?do=Take&id=15)

And an A500 quiz will be following very soon. :)

[Graham Humphrey]

75%... pretty respectable (by the way isn't it Agnus not Angus?).

[Teho]

60%. Fairly happy with that, considering I've still never owned or hardly ever used a 1200.

[Harrison]

by the way isn't it Agnus not Angus?

Well spotted. So much for Zetr0's knowledge! ;) Is now corrected.

[sarek2k]

woo hoo i got 100% JOKE

Really got 65% not too bad a bit sketchy on some of the later questions!

[AlexJ]

Good quiz (scored just 55%).

*Possible spoilers below*














Two slight problems I noticed

Q4: Which Chip is not on the A1200?
(Choose from:Lisa - Alice - Gayle - Agnus )

and then

Q18: In the A1200 the Lisa chip is responsable for...

also

Q7: What CPU does the A1200 Have?

and Q16 : The 68ec020 has a peculiar addressing method, what is it?

[Harrison]

OK. For Q4 I've changed "on" to "in", for Q18 the spelling mistake, and for Q7 I assume you meant the capital H?

For Q16? was it the lowercase "ec"?

[killergorilla]

Well I'm pretty happy with 85% !

Didn't think I'd get quite that much but I did! (I didn't cheat either!)

[Graham Humphrey]

by the way isn't it Agnus not Angus?

Well spotted. So much for Zetr0's knowledge! ;) Is now corrected.

Do I get extra bonus points for that :lol:

[Harrison]

Oh, go on then... I will give you 100 forum points for spotting the error. ;)

[Graham Humphrey]

Ooh! Thanks. I was only joking mi- [no Graham, what are you doing? Shut up already!]

;)

[AlexJ]

OK. For Q4 I've changed "on" to "in", for Q18 the spelling mistake, and for Q7 I assume you meant the capital H?

For Q16? was it the lowercase "ec"?

More trying to point out that some of the later questions answer the earlier ones, i.e. Q18 confirms there's a Lisa on the A1200 eliminating that from the choices in Q4. Q16 goes further by giving the model of the CPU, which happens to be Q7.

[Harrison]

Yeah... that is generally how quizzes are structured. The smart person gains knowledge about some of the questions from other questions in the quiz. It's Zetr0's quiz though so best wait for him to comment as I only posted it, not create it. :)

[Zetr0]

I am happy on how ever you might want to structure it / intergrate it :D ...

I have to admit, by question 20 i was running out of steam for question ideas to be honest LOL

I am glad some of you found it challenging though :D

I hope to do an A500 one too (perhaps with less spelly mistakes :D)

[Buleste]

85% I can live with that. I even learned something which is a bonus.

[Stephen Coates]

70%.

Not too bad considering that there were a few things which I didn't know. Couple were things which I forgot though.

But I did manage to remember the peculier addressing method of the 68EC020.

[TiredOfLife]

75% on the A1200, 55% on the A600 and 50% on the A500.

Should have been higher on the A1200 as I somehow managed to click on the wrong answer when attempting to click on the correct answer.
My own fault for letting work distract me. (Very unusual behaviour for me)

One question I got wrong because the wording wasn't too clear (To me)
Would have got that right as well.

The other two quizzes were a bit more interesting as my knowledge was a fair bit poorer and therefore learnt a few new things.

[Harrison]

Which question didn't you think the wording was clear enough?

[TiredOfLife]

This one below.
Don't know why really but the way it was worded just threw me.

What non-upgrading feature / condition (on startup) can change the processing speed a basic A1200?

[Harrison]

Hmm. Seems quite straight forward to me, although you do have to think about the answer.

[TiredOfLife]

Yeah it does now, can't even remember why I thought it was ambiguous.
Senile Dementia.
The answer, I think most people will know though.

[v85rawdeal]

Er... I didn't


But I still managed a respectable 75%, for which I am very pleased, and it better than my 50% on the A500 quiz.
