Nobody said there would be a test. It's not fair, I haven't studied!

It's ok t-bird, this is not a test, it is in fact a TEST thread, an altogether different beast (esp in the Unix world

What you probably didn't know is that it's part of a psychological experiment, and that we are all scored on (a) whether we respond to such an arcane title with very limited information and (b) what we do[n't] say.

Known only for sure to TW and selected others I suggest you got a 5, whereas I might get two, Squawk one, and Trevor reminds me of the philosophy student who when faced with a 3-hour examination question on 'What is a risk' writes 'this is' and walks out after one minute... how do you mark that?

Come on, this thread has drifted off topic already.

Here's a test question:
If it takes a yard and a half of calico to weave an elephant's underpants, how long will it take a double-breasted cockroach to tap-dance through a barrel of treacle?

(This was a question posed to us pilot trainees during Morning Quiz)

To be pedantically correct, the Beatles song 'A Day in the Life' mentioned there were "4000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire". From that grew the line about then knowing how many holes might fill the Albert Hall. 😉

"I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall"

Everyone knows that the number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, the "Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything", calculated by an enormous supercomputer named Deep Thought over a period of 7.5 million years.

Unfortunately, no one knows what the question is.

The second and less well known relevant question is

"What is the recommended tyre pressures front and rear for the Honda Blackbird CBR 1100XX motorcycle"

42 psi
