    Default Engine Quiz?

    Did an interesting engine quiz & scored 28/30.

    I actually had to guess a few questions as the answers to some were ambiguous in my opinion & answers to 1 or 2 questions I think are technically incorrect.

    Anyway I'm probably wrong & will be interested to see how the mechanically minded people of Austech fare. Post your results.
    Then later I'll post what I think are technically incorrect or ambiguous questions & answers.

    Here you go only takes a minute or so.

    26/30 - sad. And I agree, some of the questions are poorly worded.

    28 out of 30, one was Q13 about the types of motors, Inline, Flat and V and the other was Q19 whether diesel is the same or better mileage than Petrol and I chose the same thinking Diesal is more powerful.
    I dont think I did to bad for an old backyarder who at 20, all he knew about cars was you put water in one, petrol the other, oil in the middle and hoped it kept going to where you wanted to go.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    27/30 got the history ones wrong and stuffed up on fuel economy with diesel. If that question were worded differently.

    No using the hints guys, agree they should be removed.
    If you get one wrong it still tells you the answer & educates you.
