I'm curious what HN users would ask as a qualifier to being technologically knowledgeable. What would the ideal question for that be?

  How about: arrange these MS Windows version numbers in chronological order: 3, 7, 8, 95, 98, 2000.

    I wouldn't be surprised if some youngsters these days weren't aware that there'd been a Windows 3, while still being technologically savvy generally. Possibly 95 as well, although they could probably still get the order right just based on the pattern at that point.

  Can the internet fit in a small box?

    No, but it will fit in an oil tanker[1] [1]: http://what-if.xkcd.com/23/ http://what-if.xkcd.com/23/ (second from the last answer)

    No, it's a series of tubes. You know, tubes.

  Judging by the last few days, it would probably have more to do with politics than technology.

  How about occupation? I'm guessing people employed in IT or STEM fields are more likely to be technologically knowledgeable.
