    edit: 3100 but no cheating. Got smashed on an Ada question :( Half the time I was using process of elimination rather than knowing most of them :)

    What scores did you get?

    800, and most of the time I was just purely guessing -.-. I've only dabbled in HTML, PHP, JS, US, C#, AS, Flex MXML, and Chef.

    Here's the thing, I don't know most of those languages but I was able to guess if it was a scripting language or otherwise, and from that deduce if it made sense, I mean chef? :)

    I keep dying around 400 or 500.

    Some of the examples though... perfectly good Java or Javascript. :p

    500. Sometimes it's rather clear, other times you get C#,C++ and D as options. I'm like a language racist, they all look the same to me.

    To answer the topic line question- I can program "hello world" in (Visual/Dark)Basic, Python, Java, Javascript, C#, HTML.

    1000 - with plenty of guesses.

    The stats page is interesting: http://helloworldquiz.com/#/stats

    When I looked these stats claim that Lua is the easiest language on the quiz! Never heard of it.

    Got 300 with pure guessing. I just looked at who got more words in his code, and the more there is, the more the language maker isn't lazy enough to write a big name! I have no idea of what I was doing there :p just the fun of guessing :eek:
