Those results are very incomplete (it says there were only 16 responses 
when there were more). I don't know what happened to the rest of the 
responses, perhaps SurveyMonkey deleted many of them over time for some 
reason. The page should probably be deleted as it is no longer accurate. 
I do have a PDF of all the results that I saved locally, but I have no 
plans to go over that again or post that right now.

It was automatically deleted, probably because I didn't post enough ...

This is just a quiz about how to use some of the SecurityManager APIs by 
some people who write about Java technology.
