Takeaway: Ever since we began publishing a weekly pop quiz, thousands of TechRepublic members have responded to the challenges. This download contains the 10 most-read pop quiz solutions from 1999.

Each Friday, we test your troubleshooting mettle by presenting a tough question from the so-called “real world.” Then we sort through the answers you submit and publish the best ones on the site.

If you submit the topic we use for the pop quiz, we send you a TechRepublic T-shirt. If you submit the correct solution, we put your name in a drawing for a T-shirt. And since July of 1999, when we started publishing our weekly pop quiz feature, we’ve given away a LOT of T-shirts! Just to spice things up a little bit, we recently began awarding a $25 gift certificate to Fatbrain.com as the “grand prize.”
