The irony is that the BCS are meant to be the bee's knees when it comes to "Professional Recognition"... and yet, their flash game has loads of spelling mistakes, and bugs:
a. the text sometimes doesn't fit the question window
b. the question about DOS, doesn't actually have the correct answer in the box.

Also not sure the question about the first gui on the apple lisa, parc xerox had mouse and gui years before that.

The first round made sense and other than the spelling mistakes I was whizzing along at which point the second round hit me like a brick to the face with questions about the capital of some a country! I lost one life due to a time out when I hadn't actually used all of my allotted time and soon lost the will to live. Pretty grim.
