Hi FME'ers,

The FME Weekly Quiz is now open.

This week there is a difference. Instead of battling for the top score, your goal is to beat just one person: Safe's co-founder and VP, Dale Lutz!

The questions are a little harder - a bit of guesswork or research might be needed - but I wanted to make sure @daleatsafe didn't blow you all away with 6/6.

So give it a go and see if you can beat Dale!

So googling is encouraged for this one?

So you mean to tell me you've been getting 6/6 every week without even looking up the answers?! That's impressive.

I think for this week it's permitted, yes.

I did google the peacocks, but mostly I either knew the answer or could make an educated guess, and I think I'm averaging just over 5 pts/week, certainly not 6 every week.

 

 

This week I knew 3, the training course was a guess between two characters I didn't recognize, looked up what three words, and took a wild guess on your dog's name. I was pretty sure she wasn't called PointOnRasterValueExtractor but otherwise had no clue.

@mark2atsafe cannot believe that I outscored @daleatsafe . Something wrong with FME Server, as it says "You submitted answers ----- to quiz number 8 on 17th December, 2019 at 06:30:10 under the username srg ! It was fun and Google sniffed out @mark2atsafe dog's name for me!

That is very odd. I'll check my workspace to see what caused the date to be incorrect.

I suggested that he didn't. Just to even things up. And I tried to make the questions a bit fairer too.

Hey, well that was a good wild guess then! I figured there would be three straightforward questions for the keen FME'ers, with the rest either a lookup or a guess. It would come down to how well Dale guessed compared to the rest of you. As it turned out, that's not what happened!
