This was fun and interesting! Give it a try. It is not easy.

Quit at 23. Got bored. At least three errors.

The engine goes 'vroom vroom'. The horn goes 'beep beep'.
Stopped at the third Q.
Next?

I got to #7 and stopped because there was no correct answer. They were looking for me to say "small car" But I know a guy with a Saab 2 stroke car.

Yes, they had a few trick questions. I got bored too but I was talking on the phone at the same time so I got through it.

You can hold your own talking about engines with the best of them.

My company has been using a two stroke Diesel engine to power locomotives for nearly a century.

27/35. The rotary engine questions got me. Isn't a Wankel a rotary also? I missed a couple of questions before I caught on to their idea of a rotary. The two stroke diesel and two stroke in a car answers were just wrong.

4. Which of the following is not an electric motor?
The engine on a miter saw.
The engine on a kitchen blender.
The engine on a steam engine.
The engine on a computer disk drive.


Really?
That was it for me.

JackDidley 07-11-2017 06:27 AM
Steam questions got me. Had to guess on those.

20 out of 35. How much do you know about "car" engines, lots of questions about, jet, rocket and steam engines in there.

rattlsnak 07-11-2017 03:20 PM
29 of 35. Missed a few steam engine questions and the first car, etc..
