    Surveying exam time was not enough

    If we use the numbers you provided, then (24 + .25 * 31) / 55 = 57% = you possibly may pass but be prepared to not pass.   What was your timing strategy?  One problem at a time in order or did you scan for the easy/iest questions first?

    SOUND Advice

    Oh, oops.  Again, I read about HEOS in my Sound and Vision mags and I know my Denon AVR-X6300H has HEOS built in and I was reading about its capabilities in the owner's manual (though haven't used the HEOS option yet) but I didn't know about the pricing.   I am the bug killer in my family...

    SOUND Advice

    You very well might be right, I have read good things and know about Sonos and what it can do but, honestly, I was not familiar with their prices.  You're right, they are steep.  Ok, how about HEOS then?  :)   https://usa.denon.com/us/heos

    SOUND Advice

    Check out Sonos.  Very impressive technology.  I think it will do everything you want from giving you wireless/portable speakers to home theater 5.1 to playing your older analogue equipment.  https://www.sonos.com/en-us/home

    SOUND Advice

    tj_PE, What is your whole objective?  Audio for music only?  Audio for movies/surround sound too?  What are your source components?  Tape player, record player, what else?  What is your budget?

    True or False - A soda is included in the $5.99 Lunch Special price?

    Agreed but I don't see how this is an excuse for confusing at best / false at worse advertising.  I think at a minimum, there should be a message that a drink is not included.  Maybe I can send this in to Consumer Reports for their Selling It page.  :D

    California Civil Surveying Reference Manual (2017)

    Let's say we give you full credit for 30 and 1 out of 4 of the remaining 25.  That would be: (30 + .25*25) / 55 = 66% which I think is on the passing side.  Keep your hopes up!

    I know you are not asking me but "back in my day" (when it was scantron with only 50 questions), I felt rock solid on 32, so-so on another ~10, and ran out of time and guessed on the last ~8.

    Fun Survey Questions

    I remember when I took a Surveying class in college, my sister thought I was taking a class where I go around and ask people a bunch of questions.

    True or False - A soda is included in the $5.99 Lunch Special price?

    Okay, so you guys guessed it - no drink included in the advertised price.  And I figured as such going in that a drink would very likely not be included.  But, how misleading is that?  What the F is the point of showing the Pepsi logo, stating that they proudly pour Pepsi, and showing an...

    Whatcha Playin?

    On a (barely) related note, did I tell you guys I finally beat Call of Duty - Finest Hour on PS2?  I had been playing that game for literally 8+ years.  It was the case where I'd be all in to it, beat several levels...... but then get stuck on a ball-breaker level and put the game down for a...

    Not until it becomes $20.  :run:

    Fun Survey Questions

    I think this is true.  As long as the work is done under the supervision of a PS and the PS takes responsible charge of the work, then anyone capable can perform the work.    Similarly, a non-engineer can prepare/draft a set of design plans as long as it is done under the supervision of a PE...

    Yes, all three of these do. http://engineerboards.com/topic/29458-california-civil-surveying-reference-manual-2017/?do=findComment&comment=7456280 An example of a horizontal control survey would be a traverse.

    True or False - A soda is included in the $5.99 Lunch Special price?

    This isn't the point!  :shakehead:   LOL!

    True or False - A soda is included in the $5.99 Lunch Special price?

    What do you guys think?  Pepsi soft drink included in the advertised price?
