"Are You a Diesel Dufus" Contest (Ends May 30, 2008)

[TDRadmin]

To help celebrate the Turbo Diesel Register's 15th anniversary, we've constructed the, "Are You A Diesel Dufus?" Quiz. Actually, this quiz was constructed by TDR Writer, <u>Greg Whale</u>. This quiz contains approximately 65 questions. So pull out as many of your TDR back issues as you can, sit right down, and show us how smart you are.

Why participate? Because its fun. And the winner (in case of a tie we will do a random drawing) will receive an assortment of TDR logo items (leather jacket, grill badge, shirts, etc. ) and a $100 cash prize. Second and third place winners will receive more TDR logo items.

This contest will run from Monday, May 5 through Friday, May 30. Winners will be posted on Monday, June 2.

Please note that this quiz wouldn't have happened without the contributions and assistance of (alphabetically) Jim Anderson, the Auge Boys, Don Bunn, Joe Donnelly, John Holmes (and former employer Carson Dodge for allowing him to goof-off doing this), Cummins' Cyndi Nigh, and the TDR publisher and archivist.

Good luck!

I just finished the quiz. Is there an award for diesel Dumb***? If it didn't happen for the 3rd gen, well... Those of you that did take the quiz, how much pertained to the 3rd gen?

 

[DCreed]

how fast do you have to answer? I got bumped off twice on the first question!

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Try it now, the link wasn't correct.

 

[PRout]

The link worked here. . Fun quiz! Just curious if after the winners are announced, will the correct answers be posted? There is a lot of interesting info to be learned from the quiz.

 

[SierraRam]

Heck I don't need a test to tell me I'm a dufuss :-laf

Yep

Yep, after the contest closes, we'll post the winners and all of the correct answers.



Don't worry - even the TDR editor had to pull out lots of back issues to finish the "Are You A Diesel Dufus?" quiz, and don't tell anyone, but he even missed one or two (snicker).

:-laf:-laf:-laf . . oh what am I laughing at, I flunked. .

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

Cool quiz, did the first 25 so far. There's an issue with the question on diesel weight per gallon though, the right answer depends on the temperature of the fuel (there are 2 answers that could be right)

there are 2 answers that could be right

Well I picked one of the two that are wrong... :-laf

 

[Gary - K7GLD]

I already have enough folks telling me how dumb I am - don't need to take any stinking test just to PROVE it... :-laf:-laf

 

[Udaloy]

I took about 20 minutes to complete it and scored a 160. Anyone else man enough to post their lousy score??

 

[DCreed]

I think I did alright with the few "diesel"questions, but I dont know squat about TDR history!

 

[DBarrett]

Well I'm not a "dufus" but not so good either only 70 here but today is my first day here. I tried and I would not quite say I failed considering I went in knowing almost next to nothing.

 

[MMeier]

Just like when I was in school, I blew through it and recieved a 165!! Oo.

 

[Red_Rattler]

I managed to squeek out a 170... .





TOTAL ASSESSMENT: Score: 170

You're pretty decent at diesel!

You did pretty well! You scored between 40% and 60% correctly. While you don't need to, you just might want to pull out those back issues, and brush up just a bit.

I scored 165 and didn't open a book!

 

[Mhannink]

165 here too looks like we all might be in the running. good job guys

 

[MCummings]

I did 120.



I don't kow anything about TDR history, so, not knowing TDR history apperantly makes me a Diesel Dufus.
