I get ... *jaw drops* 14/20. OK, that was better than I thought I was going to score - although it did illustrate just how many languages I'm base-level fluent in - more than you'd expect for a non-programmer.

Not too unhappy with 19/20: the Fortran sample looked so unlike classic Fortran that I guessed it to be some sort of structured BASIC variant I hadn't seen before.

I got Scala and PHP by elimination (in that all the other options for those questions were obviously wrong) and C# and Ruby from only a very vague knowledge.

I got LISP largely because I knew it was "the one with all the brackets" :->

I'm pleasantly surprised to get 16/20 (some were guesses). Maybe I haven't forgotten everything I knew about programming.

9/20, with lots of guessing.
