Dear Users of this Board!
i would like to thank all the good and knowledgeable experts - you - for your ongoing support. You have helped countless people with your expertise and the willingness to share it.
Still, we have some rules in place and one of them is that homework and coursework is allowed only in the specialized board for this kind of questions. It is sometimes obvious if a question is homework/coursework and sometimes - like in this thread here - it is not.
In such a case we have established a simple course of action: someone, usually a moderator, asks what the thread opener has tried so far. If he answers this and shows his effort we at least have the proof that he did try to work out a solution, however inapt. We will try to correct what he did wrong, explian which misconceptions have led him astray, and so on.
Experience shows that the lazy (instead of inapt/uneducated) people, regardless of being student or not, will not answer such a question but istead wait to be spoon-fed a complete solution. As we - and i think we all can agree on this - do not want to support utter lazyness with our work we ask you to simply refrain from answering questions where a moderator or other user has asked such a question.
Please treat "What have you tried?" as a STOP-signal as long as the question is not answered by the thread owner!
Thank you for your consideration.

PS: @protocomm: I have hidden your answer for exactly this reason. Not, because it was wrong, but because it was premature. Thanks for understanding.
@balajesuri: Special thanks for holding up this rule.

purity
PURITY(6) Games Manual PURITY(6)
NAME
purity - a general purpose purity test
SYNOPSIS
/usr/games/purity [ flags ] [ testname ]
DESCRIPTION
Purity is an interactive purity test program with a simple, user interface and datafile format. For each test, questions are printed to
the your terminal, and you are prompted for an answer to the current question. At a prompt, these are your choices:
y Answer "yes" to the question.
n Answer "no" to the question.
b Backup one question, if you answered it incorrectly, or someone is watching you take the test, and you don't (or do) want to
admit a different answer.
r Redraw the current question.
q Quit the test, and print the current score.
? Print a help screen for the current prompt.
k Kill a section of the test. This skips all the questions of the test until the next subject heading.
a Toggle answer mode between real answers and obfuscated answers. Real answers print "yes" and "no", while obfuscated answers
are "Maybe" and "maybe". Obfuscated answers are preferred if you are shy, and don't want people to be able to read your
answers over your shoulder as you take the test.
d Toggle dERanGe output.
s Print your current score on the test you are taking.
l Toggle score logging.
At the end of the test, your score is printed out. For most purity tests, lower scores denote more "experience" of the test material.
FLAGS
These are the command line flags for the test.
-a Show real answers (i.e. "yes" and "no") instead of obfuscated ones (i.e. "Maybe" and "maybe") as you answer the questions.
-d PrINt THe tESt in DerANgeD pRInT.
-f Take the test in fast mode. Only the questions are printed, and not any other text blocks, like the introdution, subject
headers, and the conclusion.
-l Take the test without having your score logged.
-p Print the test without prompting for answers. This is useful for making hard copies of the tests without having to edit out
the prompts by hand.
-r Decrypt the test using the Rot 13 algorithm. This is done as a form of "protection", such that if you read a rot13 test and
it offends you, it's your own fault.
-z zoom through more prompts in large text blocks. The default is to prompt the user for more when a screenful of text has been
printed without any user input.
DATAFILE FORMAT
The format of the datafiles is a very simple format, intended such that new tests can quickly and easily be converted to run with the test.
There are four types of text in a purity test datafile. Each type is contained in a bracket type of punctuation. The definitions are as
follows:
the styles of text blocks are:
{ plain text block }
[ subject header ]
( test question )
and < conclusion >
Plain text blocks are printed out character for character.
Subject headers are preceded by their subject numbers, starting at 1, and then printed as text blocks.
Questions are preceded by their numbers, and then prompt the user to answer the question, keeping track of the user's current score.
Conclusions first calculate and print the user's score for the test, then print out the conclusion as a text block.
If you wish to include any of the various bracket punctuation in your text, the backslash ("") character will escape the next character.
To print a question with parentheses, you would use the following format:
(have you ever written a purity test (like this one)?)
the output would be this:
1. have you ever written a purity test (like this one)?
and then it would have asked the user for her/his answer.
For a generic datafile, use the "sample" datafile for the test.
FILES
/var/games/purity.scores the score logfile
