Re: How mechanically inclined are you?
88.
Like Beth, I found the misuse of "principal" annoying.
Like Don and Eddie, I answered piston suction instead of atmospheric pressure, although the answers are equivalent: does current flow in a battery circuit because the positive terminal has a higher voltage, or because the negative terminal has a lower voltage?
Like Al, I thought the electrical questions were extremely elementary while the mechanical ones required some physical reasoning. Also like Al, I was trying to go as fast as possible.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
