8/10.

Maybe I should join CID, that's a far better crime detection rate than they ever make...

I'd edit that. I don't have a problem with it, but undoubtedly some will

Crikey! ... only 4/10... that's about right though, from someone who initially thought that member Hunts was a fairminded and well balanced bloke!

Re: Computer geek or serial killer?

Somehow 9/10. Use the force Luke.

If you like these teats (edit: tests!) try this one from the BBC's lottery game 1 v 100. I tried to use the force on that and never got past round 4 (even dodging 3 times!)

Easy - got to round 10, with no 'dodges' - then answered wrongly

Re: Computer geek or serial killer?

That was fun Woodywizz. I also had 8 out of 10, pretty good, as they say.

The ones I failed on - I actually wanted to vote on the correct ones, honest! I just felt they looked too obviously good or bad so I voted the opposite. Maybe this is how a few of us voted, we like to think we can recognise a bad 'un.

Re: Computer geek or serial killer?

Heh - I do hope those wanting to go into 'profiling' don't judge their scores based on those photos as the criteria for their future career...... since ' looking shifty ' as a crime detection technique would worry me no end after looking at my own passport photo*



* could easily be confused between -> Geek / Wanted for sex offences on Crime Watch
