Name someone who currently has keys to the vending machine.

Correct

Slot 0 is out of drinks, but it doesn't have an emptiness detector. As a 
Coke member, what do you do?
> 6. Lock the slot and inform someone with keys that the slot is empty.
Incorrect. The question asks what you would do as a coke member, the 
assumption being that you have access to a key.

How do you put a space (not an underscore) in a slot name, for example, 
how would you rename a slot to vanilla coke?
> 7. put the slot name in quotation marks.
Correct

What is wrong with this command?: dispense acct Zanchey +500 "money in 
safe"
> 8. Capital Z on zanchey.
Correct. This question can now be removed since the new dispense is case 
sensitive everywhere.

Who has permissions to edit the snack machine slot names and prices?
> 9. People listed in coke.controllers on ~coke. Namely dja, vox, vanbujm, tpg etc.
Incorrect for both old and new dispense.

What does naming slots to stupid (non-standard) names break?
> 10. Coke scripts, and accounting. Makes it difficult to grep stuff.
Partially correct, though ucc.asn.au/dispense is currently broken anyway.
