I got three wrong:

The Month of commodore's bankruptcy
Only Amiga Makes is possible (though, I'm pretty sure the answer is wrong)
How many keys on the keyboard...

 Got 2 wrongs: related to address/libraries.

 28 points in the first passage. Not bad at all.

@yorgle & darkcoder

The 14 bit audio trick in Paula works by combining the two voices of a channel - one is set to maximum volume and one to minimum. You play the data's high 8 bit on the loud voice and the low 6 bit as the lower 6 bit of the quiet voice. Combined this pretty much gives - 14 bit.

Nice quiz!

This question:

I thought was a bit hard!

22/30... speeded through this fun test in about a minute, learned a few things. Still I find some of the questions quite irrellevant for judging ones genuine Amiga knowledge.

I must say, comparing to my Amiga surroundings, I hardly see myself as an "Average" Amiga user. :-D

It has to be. The "correct" answer makes no sense in english.
