I just took it, and scored 7/10, with the caveat that
2 of my failures were partial (I chose one were several were valid), so I
didn't chose wrong code.
The other is that I rejected a solution that all compilers accepted, so I
would never write it.
All in all, I have not chosen a single unsafe answer :P
I'm not here to be presumptuous, and I don't write serious C since my
college years. Thus, this surely must mean that Ada has made me a super-safe
programmer ;)
