Looks like somebody had a duplicate code block.

That, or you know 9% more about cars and engines than is traditionally possible in our reality.

...in which case, maybe you should be a multiverse car mechanic?

If they're testing questions one by one instead of with a looping structure, they're programming with llamas. I'm not actually sure how you'd make that happen in any sensible language unless you're a llama.

Actually looks like it mostly worked fine. The question number "9" occurs twice, though. So yes, perhaps a duplicate code block.

If you don't want to have to type out each question manually, use an array. Set the terms of the array to the questions you're asking. Use another array for answers.
Then you can use a loop that repeats 11 times. It'll check the nth term of the first array and output that as the question, then it'll check if the answer was the one used in the second array.

But yes, if taken as not an error, this is quite funny.

But that's the thing, you should never have written this in terms of blocks. You should have written a structure that can hold questions, an array of that structure, then populated that array, and then get an iterator to traverse the array if you don't want to bother with bounds.

Going block-by-block is pants-on-head level of bad. It's not extensible, it's not generalizable, and it's just not good programming practice.

What do you mean it's not extensible? They can just copy-paste the question block some more and change the variable names. Boom, extended. /s.

Pretty sure it is just calling auto mechanics stupid.

When my dogs were younger they liked to wake me by jumping onto my bed and licking me.
Except I have a tendency to sleep shirtless so they also left several scratch marks on me, so when I got up from bed I'd look like I just had spent the night wrestling an angry ghost.

It also reminds me of the time my girlfriend was going to ruffle my hair early in the morning and ended up poking me straight in the eye with one of her nails. She was also half asleep and didn't notice it, and only found out later when she woke up and found me on the kitchen fetching breakfast with one of my eyes mysteriously closed.

So I usually add everyone that invites me on LinkedIn. But I still found it quite strange when I start to get this stream of messages of someone that I don't even know, accusing me of all kinds of really wierd stuff that I did not know that I did. And when I mean wierd I mean really wierd (like accused of making fun of the person on 9gag). So I first ignore all this and then reply that I think its an identity mismatch, but the messages becomes more and from more than one account that I added.

Turns out in the end it is the crazy daughter (who I think has some kind of crush on me) of my next door neighbor thats been making all these fake accounts, also one on facebook (which fortunately I dont really use anymore). I guess ill be a lot more careful who I add in future.
