Engineering Puzzels/Games, interesting questions?

I can only think of engineering.com which had some cool things. Please post any link if you have any.

took a wag???

 

[ryandias]

duh.. nevermind. Any clues as to the Length of the baR?

 

[SLemin]

Roman Numerals...

 

[jistre]

Now I feel truly stupid after SLemin's comment...

 

[SLemin]

I aim to please!

Any help with the lithuanian band one?

Si

 

[jistre]

Think resistors, SLemin.

 

[SLemin]

That's even more annoying, I've been down every possible route from Ohm to the bands and I still can't think what it would be.. a band in lituania?!
I think I'm definitely missing something...

 

[telecomguy]

Woohoo! I finally got one. Thanks for the tip jistre.

This is evil; I struggle through to the last clue and its (apparently) about probability. I guess I probably won't finish this !@#& puzzle.

 

[jistre]

Is it the one with three row of what looks like set notation? I'm stuck on that one, too.

What is the trick once you get the two rpn equations solved?

 

[telecomguy]

Slemin, did you catch my hint?
jobiewan99, think dates and reread the clues.
YoungTurk/Jistre, here's a subtle clue:
-Things haven’t always gone right for engineers.
-Sometimes they have worked out fine.
-Other times they’ve quit before they even got a chance.

After receiving a hint on Lithuania, I got the math problem without even cheating. Then I had a relapse on the last one. But it was fun anyway.

Now I'm off to

[SLemin]

No!

Am I just being really stupid?!

 

[SLemin]

Oh god!
I am an idiot - I've just got it!

Thanks!!
