it needs questions like, 'use undecaprenylphosphate muramic acid pentapeptide in a sentence' or 'name the 12 discovered quarks and leptons (matter particles only)',
or practical questions like 'boot your xbox into linux/freeBSD and setup a DDOS attack against micro$oft',
or applied computing: what is the hex coding for load Accumulator immediate mode, for say, the SY6502. or what is the coding for NOP on the x86. Oh right, assembler is 'not a real language'!

I'd have to take exception to this test:
1) how do you chose between "Elementary Differential Equations" and "Linear Algebra" as one being 'higher' than the other? Tensor Calculus is not even a choice!
2) how can you say 'assembler' is not a real language? PASCAL was written for merely teaching structured coding whereas assemblers are meant to do actual work, work that cannot be done by the so called real languages. (if you don't believe me, try to call an OS call gate without using any of the inline assembler definitions in syscall.h). Besides, I *live* for assembler in all it forms and flavours!
