Only a True Friends Fan Can Pass This Trivia Quiz

Chandler Bing's job. Ten seasons. 236 episodes. One of the most-watched TV shows ever made. And most people still can't say with certainty what Chandler actually did for a living.

The official answer: statistical analysis and data reconfiguration. It becomes a running joke precisely because no one - including his friends - ever fully understood it.
