Week two of the weekly trivia feature on my blog. Each week centers around a central theme. Last week's can be found here. This week's theme is: "Four Score"

  1. FORTRAN is one of computing's oldest programming languages. It was developed in the 1950s by what computing giant?

  3. We've all gotten 404 error pages online. These occur when a server can't find a page that a user was linked to.

Peter Flynn was employed by the college for what four-letter Irish city?
  4. University of Wisconsin's mascot is Bucky the Badger, which is designed in the likeness of a North American badger. Along with it, there are two other biologically similar badger varieties: Eurasian badgers and Asian hog badgers. One other is also commonly referenced, even if it is a bit different biologically. What is the fourth badger breed?
