Engineering Trivia

Engineering Trivia

Engineering Trivia must be a reverse Oxymoron - if there is such a thing.  Because by the very definition, if the item, article, question, subject matter is Engineering Related, then it can not be Trivial.
........QED

Do you want to know what is the biggest or smallest or fastest or slowest or tallest or deepest or loudest or smelliest or ………………
Well you'd better switch to the Guinness Book of Records, because you are not going to find it on this site
What you are going to find is a mix of General Engineering Questions.
I always like to answer these with a group or competing groups.  How you answer them is completely up to you

Maybe in a coffee or lunch break - print out the questions and see how good your group is.
It's often difficult for a single individual to have  the spread of knowledge, but it is interesting to see what obscure knowledge people do in fact have tucked away in the dark recesses of their brains.
Sometimes an answer is a combination of knowledge from different people.
One person starts the ball rolling and others can piggy back from that start

Answering trivia questions can also be used as a lead in to business activities.  
Typically as a starter to meetings, in order to "break the ice" and get some lateral thinking or maybe to start a brainstorming session.  It can start the thinking process and get people to look "outside of the square"

Complimentary to, and also an excellent way to develop and stimulate the thought process is to use creativity exercises which can be found on many sites

If you are organising a  trivia competition, feel free to use any of the engcom questions and please give us a mention.  Maybe your company has an internal (or external) news letter.  We don't own the knowledge, but an acknowledgement would be appreciated
