I think I got extra credit for gray hair.
Because if one has been around awhile and is nerdy enough to contemplate taking the test, one will have done most of these things.
When I was an undergrad, I was doing a project with some coding in a decimal assembly language on an old Burroughs. If I was willing to work at night, I could have the machine to myself. Which was a blessing to the other users considering the level of my coding skills at the time. There was a notice posted on the bulletin board to the effect that they had gotten this new kind of program called a "compiler" and people were invited to try it out.
