I failed but not by much.
I think their correct answer to 48 is WRONG !!!

[jim_ss409]

I was going along okay, slow but okay, when I realized that I was on question 12 of 50:eek: I figured I'd better quit because at the rate I was going, it was going to take me an hour to get through it.:deal
My brain hurts, I think I'll go lie down for a while.:help

I gave the same answer DQ. I got out one of my old positive displacement sewer pump books and I see where they got their answer. A trick question for sure!

That was pretty cool. I got one wrong only because I didn't think correctly for a moment... 98%... Very Cool. But then again, I am an engineer. :brow My wife says I am a geek in normal guys clothing....:takethat :cuss :takethat

I thought it was easy and breezed through it.. I was shocked to see I FAILED it! Rec'd only 78%.. Oh well... :bang

So you are saying that thier answer for #48 is correct AND elementery???:dunno
If the answer is right then why when you put your hand over the carb does it suck your hand down onto the carb????

Please explain it to me,, in dumbie terms:doh

[fourspeed409]

Think of it as being at the races and checking the air with a weather station, it's at sea level. Your 409 has a certian amount of suction due to the piston moving down. The suction alows the atmospheric presure to push air into the cylinder, makes good power. Load up and head for Denver. Check the weather station, air is 5000'. Higher we go the less atmospheric pressure. Your 409 still has the same amount of suction as before at sea level, but the atmosphere doesn't have as much pressure to push the air into the cylinder. Less power, car slows down.

LOTS & LOTS of atmospheric pressure.

oh,oh don't get DQ started guys....this was a family post until now. I am admitting defeat on #48 as explained in a sewer pump manual:D

dam i got 80% but would like to see the ones i was wrong on.:doh
but is was good

[walkerheaders]

barely made it by with 80% luckily i figured out where i went wrong. the whole thing reminded me of when Ronnie asked " does and engine turn clockwise or counter clockwise" danged trick questions.

[Ronnie Russell]

Tried to take that stupid test yesterday. Spent 30 minutes, thinking things out. Wanted to get 80%. Pressed submit and my computer locked up and got no result. Probably for the best. Hurt my head , thinking too much. When it comes to " thinking" , I am at a big disadvantage. Since so many members were able to get 80% or close, if I need a question answered, I know right where to go to get an answer. :bow :bow

My thoughts exactly Ronnie....I "almost" made the cut but just quite didn't but I am writing the names down of those who did so I can get future answers to issues!!!:D

Tom...Sort of the same reaction that I had. Sounds like Faride has aced us. But of course I should have known because he is in "clean water"

[goat boy]

86% wowhoo!!!!

[MRHP]

I too pulled an 86%. Good stuff!

[oldskydog]

86 also, I'm not even going to mention some of the ones I missed....too embarassing.:doh

[rstreet]

Cecil:
I've got to know....How did you do on number 48???
Robert

[oldskydog]

No problem on 48. I think that was covered in aerodynamics or physics, in anycase it makes sense. A vacuum is just an absense of pressure having the same effect as differential pressure. the higher side wins.. There were a few others that I didn't spend enough time thinking about.:scratch

[SSpev]

:cuss got a 90.:doh shoulda studied harder

[BC409]

82%, need to hit the books for a refresher.fun to workout the brain a little
