Quiz me. Test my knowledge. Yes this will fail.

Don't know anything about cars. Wild guess. About a 1500 hours power?

horse power.. and that's way more than it is. 627hp.

McLaren F1 is also the fastest car that is naturally aspirated. (No turbo lag, bitches) 231mph with rev limiter. About 240 with rev limiter off.

Circle the primary IFF interrogator antenna on an Arleigh Burke class destroyer.

Is that the antenna on the Phalanx gun system? If so, it's the most forward white dome in the pic.

And I already answered the question? Did I not?

How much wood can a wood chuck chuck?

 

[JPS35]

I like to think I'm fairly knowledgeable about a fairly broad array of topics. I'm no jeopardy champ and don't usually do very well on that type of quiz show but I do know I sometimes surprise people with what I know. So the game is ask me questions about, whatever, and I'll try to see if I know the answer. I will not look up the answers. This is going to fail and make me look like a complete idiot I'm sure, but meh I'm bored.

Question I will likely no NOTHING about are sports and pop culture, oh and music , lol. I'll probably do better on science.

And yes I really won't look up the answers, I'm willing to make an ass of myself.

Does not appear that spelling or grammar are strong subjects either...

Face palm. Right. I knew of this often sited joke/question but not very well.

None.

25000 mi/h

Not actually true, as you didn't specify if it could accelerate. 1 MPH would be plenty if you had sufficient delta v.

See my sig. I believe I have some form of mild dyslexia or something.

lol that's not a bad one, will have to remember that.

 

[DominionSeraph]

Is that the antenna on the Phalanx gun system?

No, that's their independent radar.

?? No idea

It's the ring at the base of the top-most dome. (top of the stick.) The primary IFF is a phased-array antenna. (Secondary tags along on the SPS-67)

Huh now I know. Why do you know so much about military hardware anyway?

I've been at the top of the stick on that ship while underway. Watching dolphins play in the bow wave is pretty neat from up there.

Didn't know that they paid you to do that. I've got to get in on that!

What is the minimum sampling frequency of a signal(f=frequency of the signal) required.... to achieve perfect reconstruction of the signal(Theoretically).

Hint: Used to avoid aliasing.

Hmm. Don't know anything about this so I'm going to have to guess. f/4 ? If that even makes any sense.

Describe the Star Trek starship tactic known as "The Picard Maneuver".

What are the primary differences between an M1911 and a 4th generation Glock 17?

What famous author wrote "The Caves of Steel"?

1.I believe the Picard Manoeuvre involves taking the ship into a very short warp burst stopping just short of your target to let loose on all weapons. Makes it look like the ship is in 2 places at once or something.

2.I don't know anything about guns. No idea.

3.I'm not sure I've even heard of the the book.

Sampling is like the first step you do to convert an analog signal to a digital signal.

The minimum theoretical sampling frequency required is 2*f, but practically it is even greater.

Does 2*f mean you sample twice per wavelength?

1. Correct.

2. Forgivable. The main differences are the caliber (.45 ACP for the 1911 vs 9mm for the Glock 17), the safeties (trigger mounted, firing pin block and double action trigger pull for the glock, external thumb and grip safeties on the 1911) and the trigger pulls (single action only for the 1911, double action only for the glock). There are other differences, but I consider them secondary.
