It's hard to not click on some of the more silly answers, but than I realize that the other end is a computer and not a person. So no laughs to get out of it  :twisted:

I'm with you at the bottom of the class KF, 26/30
That makes us the cool, tough kids at the back of the room & not one of the Nerds. :boogie:
(Anything to try and justify our results) ;)  :rofl2:
Wish I was smart enough to be a Nerd  :happy1:

Sweaty i think we will remain at the bottom as anyone scoring less is unlikely to fess up !!  :whistling:

There's 2 or 3 versions of this getting around. Done 1 & got 30, started a different one & they went off on a tangent about weird stuff, flagged it.  I recall that odd ball spud gun one too.

30/30 despite some of the weirdly worded questions  :confused1:

Yeah... 30/30 but barely.. A couple of those questions were a little ambiguous and more than one answer would have been correct..

I'd love to get my wife or kids to do it....  :happy1:

The thing about the folk on here is almost all are of a certain age and / or have a passion for things mechanical.  I'm sure a large percentage of the population don't care about anything beyond if it moves forward after they turn the key. What we consider basic knowledge would be a Black-Art for anyone else in my household.

Someone try the test on their wife and kids, mine would probably tell me to piss off!

I think you're right there Tony, we take those questions as pretty simple (even if some written in an odd / ambiguous way) but a lot of 'lay' people probably don't have a clue on most of them.  Each to their own though, it's an interest for us but not for them, same as pruning a rose a certain way doesn't interest me in the slightest - chainsaw at ground level works for me. :lol:

When I was a kid in the UK a neighbour put up a fence. He spent ages getting every single post exactly the right height. Took him ages, very long fussy job but he got them spot on.

My Father did his in a fraction of the time, he put all his in high, very high, inbetween, somewhere near, they looked shit. Then he went along and chopped the tops with a chainsaw and they all looked the same !

:lol:
