Finally some one asks a question in my field of expertise and I wasn't allowed to answer it :P

2 : If you use a slot drill / end mill you will end up with rounded corners which will correspond to the radius of the tool that you use. The other option to get closer to a true square is to use a Watts drill. :)

I enjoy reading your posts SallyD. I find them both humorous and educational (not necessarily both those things in the the same post).

1000 posts under your belt,!! ... and heres to thousands more to come .

:) :)

I thought someone with an engineering background would have got that one first, I've seen them used in a tool room but I've never used one myself.

I can swing you some Acacia seeds if you're up for it.

Another winner!

Very good Amz, the refractive index can be applied to many different scales, they are two of the more common ones.

#1 Which physical phenomena is exploited in a tank circuit in an FM transmitter (not oscillation)

#2 How do you drill a square hole in a piece of steel

#3 I've recently germinated some seeds that are the only species in their genus - name the genus

#4 The presence of dandelions indicates a predominant deficiency of which mineral in soil

#5 What unit does a refractometer measure

#6 How old was Old Tom Parr said to be when he had an affair and fathered and illegitimate child

#7 How do you determine the age of a racehorse.

5) Degrees?

I'm thinking refraction of light, which is essentially changing its vector of propagation...

woohoo 666 posts for me! I should do something evil.

edit: darnit amazonian beat me!

is 7 a trick question? I do not know any horses but perhaps they count their age just like we do, by knowing when they are born?

7) Number Brand on the shoulder is year of birth and number foal born to that brand that season.

Or look on the horses registration papers LOL

No it's not a trick question, it can be cause for confusion because of the horses birthday factor.

If no-one gets that question tonight I'll give it to Ethos, as a good vet can tell the age of a horse by its teeth.

Would it come off bad if I was to answer that one too? Probably. I'll leave it for someone else :)

Someone got it anyway.

Nice work on 1k posts, and awesome giveaway!

Resonance is still oscillation though! Had to squeeze in my 2 bobs worth :wink:

Yeah true, it was meant as loosely veiled clue to be used as a keyword in a google search.

technically there is no unit of refractive index, as it's a derived quantity.

#2 with the Swiss made Vika attachement :) Hope i am right.

Shit... beat me to it Optical. oh well.

P.S, Congratulations on reaching 1000! great give away.

 

Hey mate u can take it. Just pm ur details to sallyd instead of me.

Fukken nitpickers, you try putting a quiz together with ten beers under your belt.

:P

The question was what unit does a refractometer measure, I was after degrees (of refraction)

Ive used a refractometer to test the specific gravity of my home brew. i beleive it can be used for multible purposes but mainly to measure density of liquid.???

I might be off track cause you can also use a hydrometer.
