It's an electro-mechanical aptitude test.

Hmm. I thought that it would still illuminate, although more dimly than the others.

No. It would dimly illuminate with a resistor (of the correct value) in parallel.
You know what I wonder though? Do the electrons actually check out both paths and then decide to take the one of least resistance (the switch)? Has anyone actually checked to see if a few dumb electrons actually go through the higher resistance (the bulb)? There's a research project for someone.

No wonder I didn't do well in Physics 7B.

I got the lightswitch one (least resistance!), some pulleys got me, and I messed up the Bernoulli's Principle one (#44).

I got 96% and a score of 480. I messed up 2 gears on question #7, and I screwed up question #17. I should have known better. Maybe if it wasn't 12:15 am after a long day. Question #38 about the two fans almost got me. Then I remembered what I learned about spinning blades with me R/C plane... I won't give the answer, but it might surprise some people what it is.
I am definitely a visual guy. I could almost "see" what was happening. If the questions had no diagrams, I would have done a lot worse unless I drew some diagrams myself.

But would you hire me! I achieved 96% as well.
I am actully fairly impressed with all the scores, the planetary gears usually give people a hard time and no one has mentioned them as an issue. You are all on your way to doing Auto Transmissions.

You don't count because you're a mechanic  . But sure. I'd hire you for speaker listening tests.
