 Quiz #30: Troubleshooting
How much do you know about troubleshooting? Take our latest quiz and find out. We'll even give you a practice question to start you off !

QUESTION: On September 9, 1945, what kind of "bug" caused the Mark II computer at Harvard University to crash?

If you said "a moth", you're right! Troubleshooters on Admiral Grace Hopper's computer team traced the cause of their failed equipment back to a dead moth caught in relay #70. They removed the moth from the relay and taped it in their logbook along with the tongue-in-cheek notation, "First actual case of bug being found." The log book and the moth now reside at the Smithsonian's American Museum of History.

Our latest quiz is dedicated to all of you who at one time or another, have had to troubleshoot or debug a computer-related problem.
