**** test told me the rotor is what sends power to the spark plugs on a engine, dod not accept my answer of coil.


I can't stand poorly written tests. When I started working for DOD, I was told that things needed to be written on a 7th to 8th grade reading level, so the average soldier could understand what I was writing. Scary stuff.


It was BS, answer would have been right many, many years ago. Not many vehicles even have a rotor these days, everything is a coil pack.

Technically, the answer should have been plug wires.

Interesting. The test was BAD is why you got it wrong?
Classic after test argument. No teacher to argue with and have correct your score. Every day after test in my science and math courses there was someone doing this....bad question...it was poorly written.
How come Mr. Ries got 100% ? ;)

Would like to know what you think a coil does in the ignition system.
Teach me.
They call em something else on this engine.

That would be the rotary gurter.

Go bring me a bucket of 2+2's and a box of ratios. Shouldn't be hard, since math exists just like Mars.

Here is your empty bucket. Watch me piss in it. I've added weight to the bucket. The addition of weight is inherent to the action. Doesn't need to be thought about but the math has taken place. You can choose to discover the equation that's explains this simple addition or just let the bucket sit in the sun and get stinky.

How much weight did you add? In concrete, tangible terms, please, since math is not a notional contrivance.

The Trooper, as with many vehicles doesn't have plug wires. They don't send anyway, they transfer.

Ok, the alternator and/or battery, then. Depending on when they're talking about.

Exactly. Because we invented the concept. It's different everywhere. 50/50 you'll accidentally dump that bucket of piss on your left boot before it starts to stink.

Alternator powers the battery. Everything has power from the battery at all times, everything is controlled by grounds through the PCM. Coil is the most correct answer.

We can disagree on this one. Math like forces or matter exist with or without man.

I agree. But "Mathlike forces" is most certainly not "math". "Math" is a human contrivance. Much like "spoon". No matter what you call it, what name you give it, it is still a "thing that looks like a spoon", because that is the name we gave it. But its identity is based on it's function, which can therefore change based on use, and is outside the control of our language. If I'm digging a hole in the sandbox with a "spoon", is it still a "spoon", or is it a "shovel"? It's now a "shovel" ( a "tool utilized for digging or moving loose objects, generally 'earth' ") So when it's in the drawer is it a spoon or a shovel? We don't know until it gets used, which is the "result".

Same with probability and math. It changes based on what we know. And what the result is. Probability is useless until you get a "result", same as finally using the spoonlike thing. And as soon as that result rolls in, there are only two possible options: did, or did not.

The 50/50™ even unites Christian principles with Zen principles with Buddhist principles with Communist principles. It is the great equalizer, the grand unifier.

Embrace it Beef, before it rolls you over.

I fucking got it a long time ago in 1970.

95% of what I say is the 100% truth.
This means for every single thing I say to anyone ever...there is a 50/50 chance I am bullshitting, lying, telling the truth, or simply inventing a fantasy.
There is also a 50/50 chance AT will die one day and will be muttering as his last words....Betty was right. :beer:

Where it under the undershirt. I was issued the polyester tee and you can see all of my tattoos through it.

Didnt say mathlike forces. Related math to being like forces or matter described in physics. Math is ingrained language. All your describing is the path of discovery in mathematics. And like anything in this universe nothing is proven, not even your 50/50. You may test 50/50 and it works but only until to think of it again. Axioms are ever shifting and we can only catch glimpses of truth through mathematics.

Nope. It works every time, under any condition, in any system. That my friend is the very essence of "Law".
