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 ;)
