Do You Know Your Pi from Pie? Raspberry Pi Quiz!

Nice,

I have already Pi1, Pi2 and Pi3. Pi4 is the next

I was surprised I managed 40% on my first attempt at this quiz. I was very tempted to go and weigh some raspberries before answering that question although I did get it right on my second attempt at that question.

My first experience with the Raspberry Pi was seeing it discussed on the element14 web site I think plus all the hu-ha about when it would actually become available. Then when I learnt about Raspberry Jams I liked the idea so much that I wanted to run my own at the University where I worked. Unfortunately I University was unwilling to allow non-University students, adults but mainly children, onto the campus. Years later I tried again and had everything lined up to use the University library which had just installed an open access work-area with large screens you could plug anything into, right next to the café (I found it hard to grasp the concept of a café inside a library - but hey, now it seems normal). Then they pulled the plug again as it was decided that I could not have exclusive access to the area for 2 whole hours. Eventually I just got fed up with the University saying no and just ran one anyway in the Engineering Lab and called it outreach. No problems. I managed to get enough staff who were interested in Raspberry Pis to come along with their 'toys'  and we ended up with over 80 adults and children coming. Admittedly it was billed as a Christmas Raspberry Pi (well it was Christmas!) and I was persuaded to dress as Father Christmas and distribute sweets - hence my profile photograph. It was a life changing experience for me. I think I ran another one the following year but the year after that there was little interest so I cancelled it. Oddly, I never managed to learn very much about the Raspberry Pi.

I decided to binge watch Mr. Robot.  I saw the episode with the Pi.  When he first started to talk about it the device he made, I was throwing stuff at the TV yelling, that's just a Raspberry Pi!!!!  Then they exposed the gag through one of the characters saying it:  "That's just a Raspberry Pi."

That episode is what I was hoping the show would be.  Unfortunately, it took an ugly turn away from its Maker vibe and the series ended somewhat forced.

HAhaha, Great Quiz.. ..

1st attempt - 70% not bad

2nd attempt - 90% HEHE

Nailed it the 3rd time

I was really surprised that I answered the No of Raspberries correctly the First Time

add to the list a STRATA or SAS connector not USB. (to slow and not reliable) They are good for smallish one off apps even Asterisk but me personally I run my VOIP system on a Mini-ATX box. Also my Video Server Clients I have 2 of them

one is a Mini-ATX in my bedroom and a AT form factor in my Stereo Rack. These are clients only not my server (RAID box) the clients connects to the RAID box via NFS. So in reality the directory in the RAID is "mounted" to the client.

RP3+ have made progress on Raspberry Pi Top. While slow Minecraft pull back the ambition.

Boosting performance on RP4, there is no surprising.

Right on limited resource like Memery and GPU or Graphic Cards. But USB SSD and USB AI stick make good alternative.

So now someone needs to make that missing project

Especially the construction of a suPIcomputer with a cluster of 750 PI...

nope not even close. to replace a desktop you need a bunch of memory and a SATA or SAS ports, both of which the Pi does not have. With the new Silicon coming out of AMD not even Intel can catch them. And sorry to say the Pi lags far behind. Oh how about a decent Video card to boot.

The  RP4 is revolutionary. since it intends to replace Desktop Computer. Clearly, boosted perfermance nails it.
