Perfect score here! Some easy questions, but a few that you need to know your stuff to answer.

I thought some of them were made too easy by including what I can only call silly or joke answers for some of the choices.

29 I missed the Otto Cycle question. Confused it with Miller Cycle for no reason beyond age and dead brain cells.

The octane question was totally bogus. None of the answers were correct. I figured out what they were looking for, though.

And I never heard of a "spud gun", but guessed that one.

I hope they don't ask me to return my driver's license. I didn't know what a spud gun was and never heard of the Otto Cycle.
