Not so much "help me" as "do it for me" then?

No offence, but try it first and ask for help when you're truly stumped.

I mean c'mon: "What does IBM stand for" you couldn't get that one?

 

Most of the questions can be done off by heart and if not Wikipedia is a great place for these. Sorry to say that I've a feeling you are just being lazy, the name for IBM for can be found just by typing in "IBM" in google!

EDIT: Meh, tad beat me to closeure....

 

you could be subtle about it, thats just plain lazy

google and wikipedia will provide all the help you need
