Would a contest be acceptible?

[hondacuraplanet]

I came across three NSX body repair manuals, and I thought, why not offer them to the membership here as a freebie in the form of a little fun contest to see who can get the right answer, but didn't know if such a thing would be acceptible.

What say you, gentlemen?

 

[RSO 34]

Yes.

Is that the right answer and do I win one of the manuals?

 

[hondacuraplanet]

The winner of said contest would get their choice of a '91, a '93, or a '95 body repair manual.....which are actually less common than standard shop manuals.

I was hoping that it would be acceptible, since many of you know me anyways

thats odd. and not just a little odd. it's totally odd.

Would the contest consist of inviting all participants over to your house. In which you say during dinner that in this contest you say you will be “hunting the most elusive animal of them all. Humans.” Then giving people a 5 minute head start and that the “person is who can get the right answer” is the last remaining person standing alive at the end of the contest?

 

[NSXrunner]

I choose D) All of the above.

:biggrin:

Playing General Zaroff is probably a bit of a stretch, especially because he ends up dead

This is the question....

What does the following equation represent?

This is the question....

What does the following equation represent?

Something that has no applicable use in the real world? :biggrin:

 

[robr]

He picked a good one, I know of no way to google an equation .

 

[Motegi]

I believe that it is an equation used to calculate the deflection of beams in structure analysis.

 

[scorp965]

Its some kind of elastic deformation formula, Wbx is the load, E is the elastic modulus, and I is the second moment of inertia.

Load / Elastic Deformation across time, something related to structural engineering.

Motegi has it as closely nailed as you can get.....

PM me with your address and first choice

For second choice, what is the "secret" significance of the four repetitive beeps that all Honda products sound off when you leave the key in the ignition, other than anything relating to the vehicle's electronics?

morse code for the letter H

 

[hondacuraplanet]

That was quick!

PM me your top 2 choices and address

We'll do the last one tomorrow AM, as I have to think up something you won't know so easily

 

[H-carWizKid]

morse code for the letter H

NICE!

More fun facts about my car.

My Dad was a Honda fan and also a big wig amateur radio type guy. My science fair project one year was this morse code thing, my whole childhood I was surrounded by antennas, radios and morse code.... and a TV I couldn't watch most of the time because my dad was wiping it out with his radios every night. I'm just now remembering how much my neighbors hated him for wiping out their TVs too .

 

[hondacuraplanet]

And both winners got their first choice

Tomorrow, we'll give the 93 one away, along with whatever other neat stuff I can come up with

How about an '09 TSX?

Hey, no fair...that guy's some kind of engineer. :biggrin:

How about some medical question for us...like what's a head nurse do best?:wink:

 

[Sarge]

How about the Max effective range of a TOW missle?

 

[La-squared]

How about the Max effective range of a TOW missle?

The original was around 3000 meters, no?
Got to be pushing 4000 in the later models.


So, do I get my gold star for the day? :wink:
