420 points! 84%, which is 1% below average. Only if they also gave a key afterwards so that I could know what did I not answer correctly

LOL, got 320 right, thats 64% (not bad for a fine arts student eh!!). Those pulley and electrical circuit questions got me confused. The gear ones were easier.

440 / 500 so 88%. After question 30 i got a popup saying "correct" didnt come up for any other question though.

Same here. And i was like "was this the first question i answered correctly?" Haha

410/82% Darn those pulleys! lol

akshat · 25th October 2007, 16:34

370/ 74 % . Lost my patience after 30 and was amazed to see the score was wondering if I would even get 10 correct, but i guess all those jee days did have some impact ...

cheap_deal · 25th October 2007, 21:55

just figured out i suffer from attention deficit disorder as i got lost interest after question 4.
how do you guys sit thru all the questions?

Rehaan · 26th October 2007, 07:59

Argh... i made some stupid mistakes!!

460 ~ 92%

BTW - that fan question was RUBBISH !!!!!!
"will cause the other fan to rotate in the same direction / other direction ?" FROM WHICH POINT OF VIEW !?!@ argh (obviously i got it wrong)... but only becuase i decided to look at both the fans in an abosolute/same view (head on) and answer the Q.

Nice quiz otherwise... (also, i got the "air being sucked in by the piston moving down" answer wrong

... quite stupid of me in hindsight)

By RIght hand thumb rule...it should be in the same direction...

BTW, i too messed that question up when I tried to think of angular mometum etc etc

Lol. I maxed the gear questions! I forgot the basics taught in school about pulleys!

Hi, took the test - scored 84%.

Some of the pulley questions, the fan question, & the intake question got me too :(

I remember I used to be fascinated with a DOS game called 'machines' or something, it's a series of puzzles, & you have to accomplish something, like knocking down objects, using basket-*****, & stuff. The higher level puzzles were wicked !

SRK · 26th October 2007, 19:16

Oh!!
I Failed..Should have read my mechanics book before answering the pulley questions.hehe..
By the way what was the answer for the engine question? I thought it was due to suction??

By the way I scored 380/500 i,e 76%.. thats Below average..So I am not getting my job there..hehehe!!

By the way Thanks for the link. I am going to pass this on to my friends.

i liked another game where with the help of prisms, splitters, convergers, mirrors, filters etc you have to light up certain points with specific colored beams.

i did upto level 29, here is an example. note that there is only one source of white light.

lemme know if anybody needs it.
