Well it was a close one

David Smiths submitted this

Coudln't answer them all, but here's what i can do Binery questions 1011 + 11 = 1100 = 12
11011 + 1011 = 100110 = 38
110101 + 11111 = 1010100 = 84
10111 + 11010 + 111 = 101010 = 82

Octal:
15= 1111
21= 10101 46= 101110
73= 1001001

3) The principle of moments states that the moment of any force is equal to the algabaeric sum of the moments of the components force. This is also known as Varignon's theorum.

4) Medicine Head had an album named Dark Side Of the Moon and Pink Floyd were going to name their album Eclipse, but the Medicine Head album failed to sell well so they stuck with their name.

5) the 1977 tour was named the In the Flesh tour, this was the final stadium tour with Roger, and during a concert Eoger spat on a fan who was enjoying the show to much. This inspired him to write The Wall.

6) Erm, what? I haven't a clue.

1) Add the binary numbers together and convert to denary.

a) 1 lot of 8, no 4's, 2 lots of 2's, 2 units

b) 1 lot of 16, 2 lots of 8, no 4's, 2 lots of 2, 2 units

c) 1 lot of 32, 2 lots of 16, 1 lot of 8, 2 lots of 4, 1 lot of 2, 2 units

d) 2 lots of 16, 1 lot of 8, 2 lots of 4, 3 lots of 2, 2 units

3) Robert Plant of Led Zepplin released an album called
“The principle of moments”. What is the principle of moments?

the principle of moments is the times in your life when you are at your peak

4) a) What other Band had an album called “Dark Side of the Moon ?

medicine head

b) What were Pink Floyd going to call DSOTM because of this?

eclipse

5) a) What was the name of the 1977 Pink Floyd world tour

the "in the flesh" tour

b) What two things were significant about this tour.

roger spit in a fans face in montreal, first use of the pig, it was a very long tour, was rogers inspiration for the wall, do i get extra credit for naming more than one? jk

6) A pressure of 0.64 N/mm acts on a wheel cylinder with a diameter of 34mm.
Calculate the braking force if:

Braking force = Pressure X Cross Sectional Area.

x= (.64 nanometers)(34 milimeters)

x= 21.76 (nanometers/milimeters)

The answers to the questions were:

1) Adding binary
a) 1011 + 11 = 1110 which equals 14 in denary
b) 11011 + 1011 = 100110 which equals 38 in denary
c) 110101 + 11111 = 1010100 = 84 in denary
d) 10111 + 11010 + 111 = 111000 = 56 in denary

2) Octal to denary
a) 15 = 1 x 8 + 5 units = 13
b) 21 = 2 x 8 + 1 unit = 17
c) 46 = 4 x 8 + 6 units = 38
d) 73 = 7 x 8 + 3 units = 59

Denary to Octal
a) 16 = 20 as there are 2 lots of 8’s and no units
b) 37 = 45 as there are 4 lots of 8’s and 5 units
c) 49 = 61 as there are 6 lots of 8’s and 1 units
d) 101 = 125 as there are 12 lots of 8’s and 5 units

3) The principle of moments is: (in lay mans terms)

Anticlockwise moments = Clockwise moments.

What this means is:
To achieve a state of balance, ie on a see-saw, the force turning it anticlockwise must be counteracted by the force turning it clockwise.

4) DSOTM was also released by Medicine head and as a result PF were going to call their album “Eclipse”. But as the Medicine head version bombed they used the name.

5) a) The 77 world tour was called In the flesh and the posters advertising it showed the backs of the bands heads.
b) The two most significant things about this tour were:
Mr Pig made his first apperance and they no longer played as a four piece on stage, an extra musician made a permanent addition to the band line up ie Snowy White. On subsequent tours more and more musicians were added to the line up to bolster the sound.
6) The braking force developed by the wheel cylinder is:

Pressure = 0.64N/mm
CSA = 908 mm2

Braking force = Pressure x CSA = 581 N

D S got 2 right on Q1, None of Q2, Q3 right, both right on Q4, 1 out of 3 on Q5 and Q6 wrong Total 6

DMF got Q1, Q2 and Q3 wrong. Both right on Q4, 2 out of 3 on Q5 and Q6 wrong. Total 4

That makes David Smith the winner. Pick another ROIO off my trade list for winning.

DMF. For taking part if you pm me your home address I will send you a copy of "Who was trained not to spit on the fan" This is a Roio of the concert Rog spat on the fan. Not only does it have that incident, Dave was on meltdown that night with some fine guitar work.

Also look out for a megga Pink Floyd trivia quiz I am putting together for all the floyd heads on the site to see who is king or queen of every thing Floyd.

Well what can i say? Cheers. Hope other roio reaches us soon, and davemathewsfan, that makes me the more knowlegable 16 year old.

Just a though, drafsack, how bout we find out how "cool" you are by asking questions bout things that teens find "cool" and find out just how on the pulse you finger is? I have no roio's to give you though

Still, how 'bout it as a bit of fun?

Bring it on Dave!

Im an old man but I like a challenge.

also, people, you can refer to me as Tommy if you want, i hate being called DaveMatthewsFan, its the dumbest username in the world and i wish it would die, but i dont wanna get a new one because i already have alot of posts on this one

again, thank you so much for willing to send me an roio!!

Well, you may as well change your username if you prefer Tommy. So long as everyone reads that post, and recognizes the avatar...

David Smith · Post by **David Smith** » Wed Feb 26, 2003 6:30 pm

You could make "the artist formly known as Davemathewsfan" your singnature.

Tommy · Post by **Tommy** » Wed Feb 26, 2003 7:01 pm

i could do that, but its still alot of posts to make up

Feeling Very Pink · Post by **Feeling Very Pink** » Thu Feb 27, 2003 1:24 am

What are you talking about? You just have to change your name in the profile section and that changes all your posts automatically, not just ones you'll make from there on.

Unless you knew that already...

Tommy · Post by **Tommy** » Thu Feb 27, 2003 2:50 am

wow, i am a moron, regardless, thank you very much feeling very pink

Post by **drafsack** » Thu Feb 27, 2003 10:07 am

Tommy
The discs are waiting, all I need is an address so I can post them off. And David if you read this post I put them in the post today. Enjoy your winnings.

David Smith · Post by **David Smith** » Thu Feb 27, 2003 2:40 pm

Cheers man, apreciated i assure you.

Hh i thought you may like to know a few people have taken the old git test and you've easily got the best score so far drafsack

Tommy · Post by **Tommy** » Fri Feb 28, 2003 3:31 am

i sent you my info drafsack, thanks again! and congrads to david again for being the better 16 year old

David Smith · Post by **David Smith** » Fri Feb 28, 2003 8:32 am

Old gits results up on Monday. Only about 5 people took it so i advise anyone who didn't to take it. There's no prize, but you do find out how "hip" you are. God i hate that word.

David Smith · Post by **David Smith** » Fri Feb 28, 2003 1:18 pm

The roio's came in this morning, i'm listening to the animals one now, but can i just say, TFC demos were better than TFC.

Cheers again. And nice handwriting

And nice handwriting

Hey your handwriting might look like that if your arms finished at your elbow and you only had three fingers.

Admittedly mine dont Ive just got c**p writng, that comes from being left handed in a right handed world.
