(but probably thanks to a Physics A level and a large Meccano set a long time ago rather than anything to do with my present employment) I think I can guess which one I got wrong: the first of the pulleys and weights question, where I said (being a real-world kind of person these days when it comes to mechanical stuff) that the one being lifted without any pulleys would be easiest. Whereas from the subsequent questions it became clear that the pulleys were the frictionless ones I remember from A level Physics rather than the much more frictionful ones I remember from the Meccano set!
