How Mechanicaly Smart are You?

Got this test from annother forum, Makes me feel kinda dumb!

Well, at least I passed. A few of them I should have got but did not. Pullys always gave me trouble.

Crap, I got a 76. I thought of a few I got wrong after the next question, but you couldn’t go back.

#4

That URL was posted a few days ago on rec.crafts.metalworking. I thought it to be a pretty neat test and got 95%…

#5

I’m on cloud nine, seeing as how I passed with 84%.

#6

Thanks, because I need more things to fail at!

64%

#7

And there’s good reason the Beer comes before the Tech :huh: I got a 72%. I guess it’s a good thing we don’t work on our own cars :blink:

Oh wait…

How Mechanicaly Smart are You?

Answer - not very.

#9

That’s why I hang out with the Spec E30 crowd. Somebody has to be around that knows what they are doing (mechanically).

Now if I can just get my driving up on a par with my mechanical skills…

#10

8 wrong, 84% and I hit myself for a couple that I missed in my haste …
Not sure I agree with the "correct" answer for the NA engine cylinder-filling mechanism.

#11

I didn’t check which ones I got wrong, since that would take a while…

68% And not one question about how to not spill your beer while wrenching??? thats BS if you ask me!

#12

I’ll say it’s BS… I know for a fact, that when it comes to fixing cars JP and Brian are a lot more savvy than I am.

#13

As much as I hate to admit it I think I am going to join the BeerTech team based on my results. The worm gear hurt my head.

As a 4th year engineering student at ODU I have to say that the person(s) that designed that test did an alright job but I had a couple of gripes about it. The biggest being that deceleration isn’t real and is never used in an engineering problem. It is rather referred to as negative acceleration. It was a fun test to take though.

However, I’m not very happy with a 76. :frowning:

#16

I haven’t looked at anything engineering or physics related for over 10 years, so I’m happy with my 78%. Altho I should have waited twards the end of the day.B)
