SillyDog701

[Pu7o]

I need some help from people with imagination and good technical knowledge. Here's the problem: I'm creating a quiz-type game with questions about technology and about SillyDog701 as well. The game is called "SillyDog701 Quiz". The problem is that I need 40 questions, 4 for each of the 10 levels of difficulty, and I don't have the imagination to just make up 40 questions. The first levels should be pretty basic, while the others should be harder. For example, this is one of the questions from the level zero (I already have the questions for level zero):

"Who is the main developer of Donzilla?"

Of course, everyone here likely knows the answer to that.

So please, suggest possible questions, with the 4 possible answers (of which only one is true), maybe even with what level you think it should go into. Please don't post which one is the real answer, or you'll spoil the fun to possible gamers who read the thread . If I don't know the answer, I'll PM you asking for it.

Here's an example of a question:

- What is the Donzilla logo based on? (Level: 0)
1 - The SillyDog701 logo
2 - The Mozilla Dinossaur
3 - The old MozillaZine logo
4 - The mozdev.org banner.


In advance, thanks to all who post possible questions

It's written in REALbasic, which is 100% cross-platform.

Namely, the level 0 questions are:

1. Who is the main developer of Donzilla?
2. Who is the main developer of Firescape?
3. What was the Donzilla logo based on?
4. Who designed the Firescape logo?

The questions:

have been added to level 3. Thanks

A small reminder: Questions don't necessarily need to be related directly to SillyDog701, they just need to be somewhat inside the subject of computers: i.e. a programming-related question or a browser-related question is just fine.

What is the name of the configuration file used by most Gecko-based browsers?
a)userConfiguration.html
b)userChrome.css
c)config_file.txt
d)end_user.jar

Technically that could be a bit cryptic, since there are multiple configuration files for different purposes. One handles layout and is CSS-based, others are RDF-based and tell the interface what to render, others are JavaScript-based and control preferences, and yet even more others are DTD-based and control what the text on the browser says.

I actually remade a new question based on that one, which is somewhat harder.

"Which one of the following is a profile-based configuration file normally used by Gecko Browsers?"

1. en-US.jar
2. forms.css
3. userChrome.css
4. chrome.manifest
