10 pointsb. 9.3 million

At one time AOL claimed 33 million members, though at just under 10 million it still ranks third in the U.S. behind AT&T and Comcast, according to Internet.com. But as dial-up access goes the way of rotary phones, so go AOL's subscribers.

Question 10: What's Choicepoint minus SCO divided by the 32GB Touch?

10 pointsa. 20,000

Choicepoint is paying $10 million for leaking the details of 160,000 customers (or roughly $6.50 per customer). SCO made exactly $0 profits (losing $2.9 million) last year. The newest iPod Touch retails for $499 (but we'll round up to $500 for easier math). So (10 million - 0)/500 = 20,000. Thank God for round numbers, and see you next week for another thrilling quiz.
