Nope,

because I feel pretty good about this.

 

[Road Guy]

I'm just glad I never have to worry about solving these type of bullshit problem ever again

 

[matt267 PE]

mmmmm.... almost kinda. But I want more decimal places. Give me a few more digits m2. (use the formula, not the chart)

I actually got .0011 and used n=.014 (PPI water depth manual for "unfinished concrete")

It's probably the 'n'. The source I am using uses an n = 0.017 and gets an answer of S = 0.00169

It is the difference. Using n of 0.017 I get 0.00169.
Hopefully the answer spread is big enough to compensate for a difference in n. Or, they give you n.

Good job.

So, what was your total time and are you ready for more?

 

[matt267 PE]

It took me about 4-5 minutes to get it wrong and a bunch more time to figure out where I f'ed up and to fix it.

If I wasn't working though EET problems I would welcome more. If you start creating threads with questions again, I'll participate if I finished EET's weekly problems early. I'm sure there are others that want to be harassed and publicly shamed by NJ.

I'm cool with that. Is that above the cut score?

Pretty sure that's Mike's sole purpose around here.

 

[matt267 PE]

He's also good at pissing off the noobs.

Ok. One more and then I'll let you off the hook for a (little) while. Please solve this levee open channel problem. Ignore the 3', and just go for the 6'.

Shoot for 6 mins or under, but no more than 8.

 

[matt267 PE]

How about 290cfs with a base of 32ft.

 

[matt267 PE]

Give me a few more minutes and I might give you another answer.

 

[Ship Wreck PE]

Maybe we should give him multiple choice?

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Maybe Matt should have signed up for April 2016...

Just kidding, best of luck bud.

 

[matt267 PE]

Maybe we should give him multiple choice?

I like that. It gives a 25% chance of being right.

 

[Ship Wreck PE]

If Bob has 3 nickles and 6 dimes, but Sally has more quarters than Bob. How much money does Billy have?
