When I took cs 100 as a freshman in college, I had never programmed before. I was in the "bottom hump." I would have failed that little quiz if I took it my first semester. Unlike every other discipline, programming is a completely different way of thinking from what we're exposed to in public schooling. It takes time for your brain to change the way it thinks. It's not impossible to learn; I learned. It just took me more than one semester of being exposed to something for the very first time. The reason for the two humps are people who have been exposed to programming and those who have not; it's why it appears in intro classes but not in the later ones.
