NSHipster Quiz #4
Trivia
10.0
The fourth and final quiz of the year. Do you have what it takes to be the `NSArray -firstObject` among your peers?

The fourth and final NSHipster pub quiz of the year was held in the beautiful city of Amsterdam on October 22nd, with help from the good folks at Appsterdam, The Big Nerd Ranch, and Heroku.

The competition was fierce, but ultimately the team of Mike Lee, Judy Chen, Eloy Dúran, Alexander Repty, Maxie Ketschau-Repty, and Sernin van de Krol were victorious. This was, by design, to be the highest-scoring of any pub quiz, with generous portions of extra points, and Team "Graceful Hoppers" came through with an impressive 53 points (which, interestingly enough, only edged out the 2nd place team by ½ of a point).

As always, you can play along at home or at work with your colleagues. Here are the rules:

  • There are 4 Rounds, with 10 questions each
  • Record answers on a separate sheet of paper
  • Each correct answer to a question gets you 1 point (unless otherwise specified)
  • Play with up to 5 friends for maximum enjoyment
  • Don't be lame and look things up on the Internet or in Xcode

Round 1: General Knowledge

Current events, miscellaneous tidbits, and random trivia. Following a time-honored traditions for NSHipster quizzes, the first round is always a mis-mash of people, places, and pop culture.

Round 2: Foundation Potpourri

With the fluff out of the way, it's now time to dive into some hardcore Cocoa fundamentals. How well do you know the standard library?

Round 4: NSAnagram

And finally, an admittedly sadistic round that combines wordplay with Cocoa arcana. Each question is an anagram, whose letters can be rearranged to form the name of a class or type in a well-known system framework (hint: Foundation, Core Foundation, UIKit, and AddressBook are represented here). Good luck!

  1. Nose Call
  2. Uncle Consort Inn
