I was a little disappointed I didn't get 100%, I had forgotten pulley work, it really has very little do in automotives. I was surprised by how many questions there were on it.

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. That was the first time I had actually seen that gear combination. Again, I just visualized what it was doing, and it was pretty clear. As for other comments about the scores of people here, I always knew that we were a smart bunch!

I think it takes a certain amount of intelligence to rise above the mundane and be able to devote mental cycles to things audio.

Never studied/don't recall studying a lot of this. I am NOT mechanically inclined. I got a 340 and 68%, which is higher than I thought I was scoring. Some you could figure out just by looking at, others you needed to know how it worked.

I did a lot of hand waving while I was working on it.

I got a 74. I was doing really well until the electrical circuits questions.

Yeah, there are some things that you just can't figure out if you've never been exposed to them. I've seen electrical diagrams (basic ones), and they got me through that part. Without that, I would have missed those too.

I got hooked on the Bernoulli (#44), Fan operating against other fan (#38) (but realistically, I think I misunderstood the answers - same direction from your vantage point - not opposite direction being that one is turning cwise and one ccwise - it's like an air-powered torque converter)... and #31 - balancing non-centered fulcrums (growing up with a fat brother and a park with a see-saw, I should really have known about that earlier)
*shrugs* Pretty good, really.

Yeah, the fan one was poorly worded. I noted that but ended up picking the wrong one.
