The "Who wrote the Bourne shell?" question kind of reminds me of the old Bugs Bunny bit where he'd be on some radio gameshow and the host would ask, "Who's buried in Grant's Tomb?" and no one would get it right. (Except totally different because, of course, no one is buried in Grant's Tomb: Grant and his wife are entombed in sarcophagi above ground, not buried below.) Btw, the answer for #16 is `cagbef`: but `g` is not an option. I would think the answer would be `cafbde`. Apparently in the original, option '(d)' is missing; one imagines that was to trick the unwary who failed to adequately read the question. - Dan C.
