I will preface this with “Marc has some tricks in these questions” his great questions always have a twist

  1. c not up to code “according to Hoyle” or another Tome
  2. YES
    A fuse protects from power overload only. A circuit breaker protects against both power surge and short circuit. Also a fuse is single use and a breaker is multi use.
  3. a
  4. Drop to your knees and bend forward but don’t lie flat on the ground or Put your head between your legs and kiss your arse good by.
  5. b

Kim Jungirl who was the only one to state you’re about to get struck by lightning
The other two told what to do but never mentioned lightning.
So… … … … Kim’s the winner.

THANKS to Jim Gilbert who nailed the music question.
Just when I think no one wold ever get it, here he comes!
Jim you also are a winner thanks to JR Scott Fudge who donated his prize a few sets ago back to be given away.

  1. If electrical work does not meet government safety standards, it is “not up to” what?
    a) Amps
    b) Hoyle
    c) Code
    d) Tome
    c) Code
    “Code” is the term for the set of safety rules that a jurisdiction sets. If you chose “Hoyle,” you were probably thinking of the expression “according to Hoyle,” which is a figure of speech, and not actually official

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~

  1. Is There A Difference Between A Fuse And A Circuit Breaker?
    a) YES - explain
    b) NO - explain
    A fuse and a circuit breaker both perform the same function of disrupting the flow of electricity when a fault is sensed. The only difference is that a fuse will have to be replaced once it has tripped, whereas a circuit breaker won’t need replacement. Due to this, circuit breakers are more common.

~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~
3) With over 15,000 known species, the most multi-cell animal is
a) Roundworm
b) aphid
c) nematode
d) OJ Simpson
c) nematode
Nematodes are microscopic worms that live in the soil. While there are many kinds that are beneficial, feeding on fungi, bacteria, and other organisms, some harmful nematodes feed on plants. These plant-parasitic nematodes damage root systems and reduce a plant’s ability to get water and nutrients from the soil.
(Everyone said Roundworms)

4) WHAT should you do if you’re out on the street & you hair stands on end?
Lightning is about to strike you. Drop to your knees and bend forward but don’t lie flat on the ground. Wet ground is a good conductor of electricity

5) Which of these metals has the highest conductivity?
a) Gold
b) Silver
c) Copper
d) Brass
b) Silver
Silver is actually a better conductor than copper, but copper is much less expensive. Gold ranks third.

Thanks for doing these Marc.
These are always a great learning experience. You need to dig deep and make some assumptions.

I’m happy and grateful to have been selected

I’m based in South Korea, so it’s difficult for me to receive the prizes.
I would like to see the 3 prizes donated to a place that needs them or transferred to a member who needs them.

I’m sure the committee will take care of it.

All the best and see you soon
Again…!

선정되어 기쁘고 감사하게 생각합니다.

저는 한국에 거주하고 있어서 상품을 직접 수령하기는 어렵습니다.
상품 3개를 필요한 곳에 기부하거나 필요한 회원에게 전달해 주셨으면 좋겠습니다.

위원회에서 잘 처리해 주시리라 믿습니다.

수고하셨고 곧 뵙겠습니다.
또…!
