Now, you can get your own boiledbeans web badge! Like the one below

This badge is for “yaksha” who’s score is shown on the badge.
Get yours by entering your boiledbeans username (you know, the name which you use to post answers..) and hit the button. Simple.

If you don’t want to show off your score, here are a few other badges

1 is a computer program which prints “Hello World”. Really.
2 is the logo of a Google’s internal product (quite famous for some reasons).

The language in which 1 is written and the product 2 are both named as a tribute to the same person. Who is he?
Hint: Both 1 & 2 resemble what this person has created. Specially 2.

We have added a new “Round Toppers” section to boiledbeans frontpage. This section shows 5 boiledbeans users who have scored the highest points in the past 15 questions.
Take a look at the “Round Toppers” right below the “Hall of fame” section.

Originally, some users wanted us to give multiple points for “harder” questions. While some others suggested that we turn the “Hall of Fame” section to “This month’s hall of fame” or some such. But, by doing that, we will be unfair to our all time high scorers. Thus this new section has emerged :)

The man is John Lasseter and the light is the Luxo tabletop lamp. The Luxo lamp on Lasseters desk inspired Steve Jobs and John Lasseter to create their famous “Luxo Jr” animation, and later became part of Pixar’s logo :-)
