Take the "Redneck Engineering Challenge"

Post by Old No7 »

No offense, but I suspect some of the gang here would score well on this! :wink:

Take the "Redneck Engineering Challenge"

1. Calculate the smallest limb diameter on a persimmon tree that will support a 10 pound possum.

2. Which of these cars will rust out the quickest when placed on blocks in your front yard?
..... A '65 Ford Fairlane
..... B '69 Chevrolet Chevelle
..... C '64 Pontiac GTO

3. If your uncle builds a still which operates at a capacity of 20 gallons of shine produced per hour, how many car radiators are required to condense the product?

4. A woodcutter has a chainsaw which operates at 2,700 RPM. The density of the pine trees in the plot to be harvested is 470 per acre. The plot is 2.3 acres in size. The average tree diameter is 14 inches. How many beers will be drunk before all the trees are cut down?

5. A front porch is constructed of 2"x8" pine on 24-inch centers with a field rock foundation. The span is 8 feet and the porch length is 16 feet. The porch floor is 1-inch rough pine. When the porch collapses, how many dogs will be killed?

6. A man owns a Kentucky house and 3.7 acres of land in a hollow with an average slope of 15%. The man has five children. Can each of his grown children place a mobile home on the man's land and still have enough property for their electric appliances to sit out front?

7. A 2-ton truck is overloaded and proceeding 900 yards down a steep slope on a secondary road at 45 MPH. The brakes fail... Given average traffic conditions on secondary roads, what is the probability that it will strike a vehicle with a muffler?

8. With a gene-pool reduction of -7.5% per generation, how long will it take a town which has been bypassed by the Interstate to breed a country western singer?

As an added bonus for taking the "REDNECK CHALLENGE", here's some advice that may come in handy down the road...

Next time you are too drunk to drive, walk to the nearest pizza shop, place an order. When they go to deliver it, catch a ride home!

In response to No.5, 2"x8" joists, 24" O/C. with a 1" (AKA 5/4) decking is perfectly acceptable so no dogs will be injured. They know better than to jeopardize K9 safety! :D

The one with the pizza is beyond redneck thinking...I like it......for any reason to get home or anywhere you need to go in a hurry. There are pizza shops all over in my area and for what, $20 you could be there in nothing flat. Plus, you get to eat too!---6

The one about the moonshine, two Ford F150 or 3 Chevy 1500 pickup, or 2 Dodge 1500 pickup radiators. Can't use Porsche radiators at all. Wrong material. Can't use VW beetle radiators. :wink:

my pal down in Alabama, he says for all'y'all to check this out .......

The feed conveyor at the coal mine breaks down for three hours. How many packs of Camels will be smoked?

How many boys at the high school dance used a 'Slim Jim' snack as a breath freshener?

All cars have odometers, so what do they use in Alabama to measure distance?

A tornado warning has been issued for XYZ county. How long can you stay in bed before getting up to take shelter?

You fill the cargo box of your truck with firewood. How much more is the truck worth?

How long can you leave three dozen minnows in the bathtub before having to change the water?

In which counties in Alabama is it legal to use your belt buckle as a form of identification?
