Yeah, it's more brainy stuff, but with real-world appeal. \:\)

Wow! Let's just say you don't want me working on your car. Now I know why I took more art classes rather than auto shop.

Never overestimate the power of boredom at work. I passed with an 84%. 420 points. So... Peter... what did you really get?

The pulleys were not kind to me. Also, it says I was wrong on the first electrical switch question, the one with 2 switches and 3 bulbs. I don't think they're right about that.

How do you get an odd numbered score on a test with 50 questions? I think you short-changed yourself 3 points. You should write the math department at Berkeley and ask for your money back.

Now it is your turn to pick on me. I got a 74%, so it is a good thing I am not that kind of doctor.

If I had taken this after freshman year of college (stupid physics!) it would have been a different story. You engineers!!! (shakes fist at sky)

The 2 switches and 3 bulbs is with one switch shorting one of the bulbs, right? Since it's shorting the bulb, that bulb won't illuminate because the current is being diverted by the switch because it has a lower resistance than the bulb. So only two lights will be illuminated.
