in case anyone is wondering the answer is A.

e. Just one, but wouldn't it be better to spend 6 months making a program that screws in light bulbs automatically? We could save a whole minute of developer time per bulb. It'd pay for itself in developer time after just... lessee... 6 months times 30 days per month times 24 hours per day times 60 minutes per hour... 2.6 million automated bulb screw-ins or so.

e. Two, but the real trick is getting them in there...

{Alt}-X

D. Final answer.

100, 1 to hold the light bulb and 11 to de bug the house

All four answers work though.

I like: how many Germans does it take to screw in a light bulb?

One. They are very efficient, but not very funny.

It makes me think about how many country artists it takes to change a light bulb....

Six. One to change the bulb while the other five sing about how good the old one was.

For the d) answer:
(On my work laptop)

"If a programmer can change a lightbulb in 5 minutes, 5 programmers can change a ligthbulb in 1."

The real answer is management needs atleast 3-5 meetings to first discuss this with 10 developers 10 upstream developers 10 downstreams developers and business team for all. And after we spent 2-4 weeks of all this a lone developer who's been saying we just screw it in gets the approval to do exactly that

I don't remember, that was a long time ago, but I think the answer must have been B., considering the rest of the game.

Yes, I played the game in 1987.

Yes, I'm old.

1, but it takes 12 hours because of the amount of documentation they need to do

My favourite light bulb joke is:

How many Morriseys does it take to change a light bulb? None, because there is a light and it never goes out.

Every other light bulb joke i hear, the number is arbitrary - it could be 10/100/1000 with no loss to the joke. But "none" and for that reason is the only possible correct answer to that joke.

Do not worry. Alt-X bypasses the question.

Possible plot twist: there is no correct answer and to pass this age check you should skip this one.

I blame management for the existence of option d

e. All of the above

I remember having a lot of trouble with those questions - not so much because I was underage, but because I didn’t grow up with US pop culture and sports.

3, one product manager, one scrum master and one programmer.
