Looks like your test was successful.

Nobody said there would be a test. It's not fair, I haven't studied!
|
Chill dude, its open book.

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?

6 posts and nobody has mentioned Qantas yet, well done everyone!

Is Taily putting out a mayday call? I'm getting carrier wave only ...

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) |
No more test questions please, I am still trying to work out how many holes in a crumpet?

Don’t know about crumpets, but I believe that song said there were 4000 in Albert Hall

If this was a test to get into QF, would internals need to sit it?

"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" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Day_in_the_Life |

Unfortunately, no one knows what the question is. |

"What is the recommended tyre pressures front and rear for the Honda Blackbird CBR 1100XX motorcycle" 42 psi :) |
Is that an African or a European swallow?

When will someone post the METARs? Or will we be waiting for the official report to be published?

Am myself fascinated by the field of Bistromathics, being just back from week long study tour in Italy.

In a dark, far away corner of the PPRuNe Empire there exists a Mod House, where Mods go to chat and tell poor jokes and atrocious lies without fear of being banned.
On Sunday 7 April 2024 at 5:52 am AEST I posted the following: This seems to be really weird....... At 5:44 am this morning (Sunday 7 April) this is a screen shot of the Dunnunda GA and Questions Forum: https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/pprune....c5f231e205.jpg You will note the last post is at 18:12 on 5 April. There are currently 120 viewers in the forum. I don't believe there have been no posts in the last (almost) 36 hours in what is normally a lively forum?? I'll go start a test thread to see if that appears. I could not believe a Dunnunda forum would not have a post for 36 hours, especially when there were 120 in the Forum who risked being late for 6:00 am Mass, choosing instead to check the latest aviation world news. Hence this Forum TEST thread. Disappointed? :} |
Where's Farrari? Surely he's lurking ready to tell us he doesn't get paid enough to join this test, that he shouldn't be expected to do this test in his own time, that he's spoken to all his mates (well....his mate) and theyre all p.ssed off at having to do it, that the union should be onto this but theyre too p.ssweak, that this is actually a VA/Bain ssetup etc etc etc
|
Surprising that Godwin’s Law has not been invoked; no one has mentioned Hitler yet…
oops, disregard. |
Late to the party, did I pass the test? :sad:
|
42. I’m excited!
|
Bit like a woodpecker knocking on the tree. Brings all the creepy crawlies out from under the bark... :p
|
I could not believe a Dunnunda forum would not have a post for 36 hours And as for Where's Farrari? Or in other words "Never hoid of 'im!':} |

Surprisingly Taily, I actually noted the same myself, having logged in several times over that period of time and noted that there were no new posts!! I assumed that either a collective disregard for the forum had ensued or that there was a technical hitch. Today is an "average" day in PPRuNe Dunnunda, 373 users in the Dunnunda R&N Forum and 252 users in this forum - today 625 users - whilst the headline Rumours & News forum has only 197 viewers on line (although it is 11:06 PM in Pomgolia). Tech Log occasionally give us a run for numbers, currently 465 on line. Jet Blast has only 62 viewers on line. Have a great day...... |
DO NOT open any Virgin threads Buy me a beer later. |
I subscribe to BeechTalk. Its version of ‘Jet Blast’ is ‘Babble Talk’. Like ‘Jet Blast’, ‘Bable Talk’ has 25 threads per page.
The most-viewed thread is ‘Jokes – Master Thread’. In 15 or so years, the ‘Jokes – Master Thread’ has dropped off the first page of ‘Babble Talk’, through lack of new posts, only twice (in my recollection). It usually remains in the ‘top 10’. I’m yet to work out what causes the protracted lack of posted jokes and reactions to happen – too little data to come any sensible conclusions – but it does strike me as very unusual when it happens. Maybe just an unusual alignment of the planets and moon… |

FWIW one forum that I have noticed a distinct drop-off over the years (was here long before this username) is Private Flying. That used to be quite busy and interesting, but now it seems that days can go by without any posts :( FP. |
If Tailwheel will permit me to resurrect his Test thread;
I note that the last post on GA was on the 23rd at 1528hrs. The one previous to that was on the 21st at 0717hrs. It appears that otherwise, the only comments are for one thread. Sum ting Wong?:confused: Or is this part of Dunnunda dying a slow death? |
Nah, GA in Australia is dying a slow death...
|
Was the test successful overall?
|
Give us some warning next time, I didn't have a chance to study for it.
