mechanical aptitude test

84%! Now I can fix the world!!

woohoo 86% not bad for a broken down sparky but some of those electrical questions are ambiguous as they all had bits of series but the loads are in variations of the series/parallel.
Sometimes I just read too much into something

82 % with a kid squirming on my lap
We are a pretty smart bunch in here, well, we knew that but now there is confirmation.

Ok , i was very confussed by some of the electrical questions, but the above statement just made it worse!!

79 but it took about 4 hrs to do while renovating the kitchen, went some thing like this, answer a few, back to work, coffee break, answer some more etc. Be nice to know where I screwed up though. more likely it was from not reading the questions right, that will do any way
cheers

There was a little button to check. It was review or something.
The pulley's buggered me up.
Who uses them now anyways

[Roughasguts]

He he at least I passed that just.
But Buggered if I can pass the NSW water ways boating thoery test.

Just as well mine got tranfered over from S.A. to NSW with out a written test.
All they care about was the money.

Not sure what you mean? Are you saying "technically" their all series/parallel?

390 78% for me. Damn pulleys stuffed me up i think, i can remember learning about them and thats about it

Edit- what i ment to say was i don't need pulleys with arms like these (knots in cotton)

[tigermullet]

I am not revealing my score except to say that I have got as much chance of fixing something mechanical as a monkey has in trying to shag a leopard on a dark night.

[tunaticer]

horny lil chimp huh Tiger?

[tigermullet]

He was! Suicidal too. Only knew him for a short while.

[finga]

Not sure what you mean? Are you saying "technically" their all series/parallel?

Yeah technically the switches and battery were in series.
They should have asked if the loads are in series or parallel or combinations.

The cook had to ask what the hell I was doing when I was doing the test though with the gears and pulleys and such.
I sat here with my little fat right hand digit drawing circles this way then that way in the air in front of the screen and counting with my left hand.
She thought I finally flipped. I didn't have the heart to tell her that happened years ago
