I can see why most of these are nerd acronyms, but I don't think LED fits into that category. I think thats a term very many people know by now as those are used pretty often by now.

Technically, only a few of these are actual acronyms. in order to be an acronym, it has to be pronounceable. If it isn't, it's actually an initialism.

GNU is not really an acronym

I did a little research, and GNU is a recursive acronym, but also named for the animal, the gnu. So, their GNU, named after the gnu, is similar to Unix but "Not Unix" My first attempt, without cheating at all (only tab opened in Firefox) was 15/20, afterwards I was able to easily get 20/20 because then I knew what those other 5, which are also the 5 least guessed acronyms of everyone tested, were.

Not really bothered that I didn't know many of these, in theory it means I am not a nerd!!!

GNU's Not Unix makes GNU a recursive acronym. It's like PHP (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor).
