Well don't try - "what is the sound of one hand clapping" I asked Siri (iPhone assistant thingy) and she gave me an answer. (Silence) Try to avoid definitions and work the question so they have to demonstrate knowledge of what things do. You might try, "if you have inadequate creepage distances what alternatives might be available? (through insulation is what I had in mind) They can look up creepage distance all night long but unless they known a little something about what is being accomplished with creepage distance they can't come up with an alternative.

These questions would serve as an automated pre screening mechanism. Questions like "What does the term creepage distance mean?" would be perfect , however the challenge that I am facing is finding questions that the answers are not easily found using Google. If anyone has any product safety related questions that they would not mind sharing, I would greatly appreciate it.
