Login Captcha thing

Post by Cryptic Night »

I just logged in again (After having been logged in for a few months) and it gave me a question. I'm wondering what the answer is to this:


What is Randy's second name?

Would it be Randall, as that was his full name, or would it be William, as that was his middle name?

I know it's not William because I tried it and it was wrong. (I assumed "second" name would be the same as "middle" name, as it IS the second name if you look at it)

Anyways, anybody know the answer to this?

But that would be his last name (Third name, if you spell out his whole name)

It's a stupidly constructed question.

Neither middle name nor last name are "second name."

It should have read either "middle name" or "last name."

I'll take the credit for that badly worded one. In the UK, we say second name in reference to your last name. I know it sounds strange but its dead common over here. You have first name (Randy), second name (Rhoads) and middle name (William). In fact, many forms refer to your first name and middle name as 'first names'.

My mistake, i'll rephrase it.

Sorry. I always forget that you have that whole "other language," on the other side of the pond.

My apologies.
