Is the gate question a trick? H has the brace the wrong way round.

tesnd to work either way.

There were more than one question however where there seemed to be
insufficient information.

The car skid for example.

The butchers hook one as well... depending what you want to achieve -
least load on the supports, then in the middle. Least bending of the
rail, then right at the end.

Or, as I was forced to conclude, a question of ergonomics relating to
reduction of fatigue induced stress on that classic and timeless
mechanical system, the musculoskeletal system of the butcher himself!
:-)

Alternatively, the answer could be "none of the above" as the meat
clearly already has a hook attached and he can hang it on the rail
anywhere he likes.

An excellent point! Sadly, the rules of the game, as set by the
examiner, rather precludes such an accurate answer. Indeed, this has
meant that quite a few of the other questions have also been blighted by
this same limitation. :-(
