I got 84% but then I have no ideas about what engines do, how they work or
what the bits in them are called. On the other hand... give me a fulcrum and a
big enough lever and I will move the world. Now who said that?

So did journalist Martin
(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!
