Techie types, prove yourselves!

[PingDit]

82% - not much wasted effort!

 

[NotAnIDOYet]

80% for the tame scopie!

Hmmm, maybe I should have joined as a techie after all!

 

[riggrrrr]

74%. oh well, that would be 14% wasted effort at Cosford!

 

[sooty77]

Bugger! 82% thats 2% wasted effort!!!!!!!

 

[Soupdragon]

72% for the non techie type Piermaster.... operator not a maintainer!!

however, i would also take issue with 2 of the answers...

1, the engine... already been queried by other more knowledgeable people on here than me

2, Q15 - lifting the weight, answer given says theres no difference in the 3 methods however, methods B & C involve a pulley block and as such would be slightly hindered due to friction (rope over the sheave, friction in the sheave pin bearing...)

 

[Ex-Bay]

84%. Not bad as Im forty years away from training in Air Wireless, methinks.




It's not the size of the carrot, but the placement that counts.

 

[Blacky]

82% - not too bad. It's been 22 years since I went through training. And it's been 6 years since I last worked on anything electronic. Not bad for an old fairy with two screaming kids in the background.

 

[flintwich]

74% not bad for a photog turned security officer even if I say so myself.
All things mechanical and electrical are left to people who know what they are doing.

 

[DrunkenMonki]

76 % thick fcuk that I am.

 

[blowmysepticzube]

80% on the nail, no wasted effort--sweet! Back to me bottle of chenet and see if can do better!!

 

[gearbox]

88% unfortunately this was not a suprise as it's bread and butter stuff.

As previously stated a couple of the questions were dodgy and one or two caught me out completely! DT_Xtremez_09:

 

[Ex-Bay]

Can you pass this test? I got 72%

82%. Not bad for an old sparky.

 

[RAF Bird]

A very impressive 80% for a stacker. Might re-muster on monday...... then again!!!

 

[Hoof_Hearted]

88% for an ex-grease monkey . . .

Pulleys always get me - never really got them, apart from the easier they are to pull on, the more rope on the floor to tidy up afterwards.

The engine Q - I thought was spot on - in theory, there is no such thing as "negative" pressure.

The fan Q was a trick one though . . . DT_Xtremez_21:

 

[grumpyjock]

94% for me. God i must have been boring in training 32 yrs ago.

 

[Mohammed The Bear]

74% absolutely out-fukcing-standing I havn't a technicle bone in my body, as far as I'm concerned spanners are used for rounding the heads off nuts!

 

[Rugby-Jock-Lad]

66% for me!

 

[wobbly]

86%

The sun and planet gear question, wtf was the answer?

90% for me, but then again, that's probably how I managed to pass out of Cosford nearly 36 years ago - if in doubt - 'C'.
