If anyone is a geek icon, it's Spock. Spock is synonymous with Star Trek, portrayed with understated skill by Leonard Nimoy. For fans, Spock is even more than that — he was the cool geek when it wasn't cool to be a geek, you know?

Calm, logical, and stoic, Spock's personality might seem cold and distant, but he possesses a deep capacity for compassion through his ability to mind-meld. He's super-intelligent, loves music and enjoys playing three-dimensional chess with his best friend, Kirk.

Similarly, noted modern-day nerd and genius Sheldon Cooper is as intelligent as it gets, has an eidetic memory, is socially inept and finds it difficult to relate to others on an emotional level. He's full of knowledge and facts and bothers over other people's stupidity. Like Spock, he also enjoys playing three-dimensional chess with his best friend, Leonard. See the similarities?

And above all, he's the biggest Spock fan and a present-day nerd icon redefining the word geek just like Spock did back in the 60s. So here's a quiz to celebrate two of the most influential genius characters.

You may think you know everything there is to know about Sheldon Cooper and Spock, but can you distinguish which iconic nerd said what?

1. "If You Eliminate The Impossible, Whatever Remains, However Improbable, Must Be The Truth."
