Same rotation? You would think it would be reverse, because they were facing each other..
I also flubbed on the worm gear one. I'm such a bonehead :gay:

82%, I would argue with some of the results though, like the fan one. The electrical ones killed me. The

66, i suck

Trent 10-15-2007 11:56 PM

74%. Apparently, I suck at pullies.

akaryrye 10-16-2007 12:08 AM

82% here, some questions were unclear. I didnt understand the terminology on question 7. The problem for me was what is direct drive and how could it be distinguished from a reverse drive?

MX_Eva 10-16-2007 01:08 AM

80 percent. A little retarded on the first couple pulley questions apparently but finished them well. The planetary gear system caught me. My initial thought was that it would rotate, but as i thought about it too hard i decided it would lock.

That and I reversed the two battery questions...realized it when I got to the second of the two and just went with it.

Edit: Oh, and I'm an artist...not a engineer. :gay:

82 % and to think I do this shit for a living :vash:

98%, can't believe I missed the worm gear one. I guess I just got careless.

jayc72 10-16-2007 02:15 PM

84%

For some of the gear ones I had to use my interlocked fingers to decide which way things go. I never did take physics.

74% ha, I cut gears for a living, so a lot of it was common sense for me. although direct drive/reverse caught me off for a little bit. technically with an idler it wouldn't be reverse.

I missed a few at the end as I was rushing cause I need to go get ready for work...

I suck at that game

I'm cool with being second place to Philip. He does pwn this place. :bigtu:

yeah i scraped by with an 80% efficiency, the gears were easy (took my time and swirled my finger in the air), had no idea on the electrical (except for that gate/breaker one), and the fan would be pushing the other fan in the same direction, because the air is moving the same direction

Me, too. Being the sort I am, I had to go get out the box fans and try it out.

Most (for me), were easy and obvious. Being in engineering, some of this stuff has to be, or I'd spend all my time figuring out what I should already know.

Loki047 10-17-2007 02:26 PM

The fan question is wrong not matter what answer you put. IE they give no relative position if I remember correctly
