gallons of shine per hour, how many car radiators are necessary to
condense the product?

4. A pulpwood cutter has a chain saw that operates at 2700 rpm. The
density of the pine trees in a plot to be harvested is 470 per acre.
The plot 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How
many Budweiser Tallboys will it take to cut the trees?

5. If every old refrigerator in the state vented a charge of R-12
simultaneously, what would be the decrease in the ozone layer?

6. A front porch is constructed of 2x8 pine on 24-inch centers with a

average traffic loading of secondary roads, what are the chances that
it will strike a vehicle that has a muffler?

9. A coal mine operates an NFPA Class 1, Division 2 Hazardous Area. The

3) Three. Coincidentally, a Fairlane, a Chevelle, and a GTO.

4) 528

5) .38 picograms/ml

6) 42, although a 43rd one will lose a tail.

7) No. Trick question - key word being "a". The kids won't be able to limit themselves.

25%. 18% if you consider a hog with a saddle on its back a "vehicle".

9) 8. Actually, slightly less, because the black guy will be smoking Newports.
