We challenge any so-called smart Yankee to take this exam
administered by the University of Arkansas' Engineering Department:
1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will
support a 10- pound possum.

blocks in your front yard? A '65 Ford Fairlane, a '69 Chevrolet
Chevelle or a '64 Pontiac GTO.
3. If your uncle builds a still that operates at a capacity of 20
gallons of 'shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are
required to condense the product?
4. A woodcutter has a chain saw which operates at 2700 RPM. The

The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14
inches. How many Budweisers will be drunk before the trees are cut
down?
5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented a charge of R-12
simultaneously, what would be the percentage decrease in the ozone
layer?
6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a
