Yes, the horizon calculation I assume. The 4 digit multiplication seemed utterly pointless other than to test a small child. I did it with pen and paper and assume that was what they meant by no calculators rather than having to do it in ones head which would have taken a bit longer. Then you would already have failed. It is a pattern matching test to spot that you can short circuit any mental arithmetic by spotting (4000-20).(4000+20) = 4000^2 - 20^2 It helped that as a cylinder head airflow specialist I already knew the density of air by heart but I suppose that most people have no idea and I presume in a real test you wouldn't be allowed to look that up so I guess that one could stump a lot of people. Not for scientists 1 mol = 24.3L at STP ~ 1kg/m^3 Isn't that RTP? 22.4l for STP? SteveW |
