Thanks
It's actually not that hard at all, maybe it is the best to draw it on paper and then solve
;-)

Yes, I know it is not very difficult, it is more, most of the answers are simple, what is difficult for me, in this case, is to fit the answers in the English language (often the translators (google type) are not very accurate with the technical words !!) Even so, what is said, great initiative and very original!

The terms in computer science are almost always is in English.
You have to understand the text of the questions.
I have some but it is true that it is more difficult for a person who does not speak English.:giggle:

To be honest, I feel it's a little too much Emsisoft advertising thesedays. Even though the software is good, there are many alternatives. As well there should also be the possibility of an AMA round for the other manufacturers.

Congrats to @redsworn & @RoboMan! :)

It is a pity that for those of us who are not English speaking it is much more difficult and complicated !!!!

And time zone discrimination! :LOL:I was still sleeping (due to time difference) when clues and winners were posted. Same for last giveaway. Oh well, I'm covered anyway! And I'm not a huge fan of suites.
