I got 9/10. But the guy I guessed wrong was a programmer and a serial killer. (Although not a language inventor.)

I got 9/10 but one of the serial killers looked like someone else who was a programmer.

Is it just me, but do the programmers seem happier and the serial killers seem more like they're trying to look happy or trying to hide unhappiness?

Assuming Hans Reiser isn't on the list.

He could well be. I got a programmer/serial killer trick question.

Isn't it the same 10 people every time?

I think it is. Task: build a nice app with a lot of pics :)

Given that I've done this quiz before, it's surprisingly hard. I'm not sure though if this is supposed to tell me something about serial killers, or about programmers.

Simple... the fairly normal looking ones are the killers, and the creepy looking ones are the programmers.
