100% for me as well. Being an electronics engineer back in the 80's has finally come in useful! :lol:

+1, that was quite easy tbh :D i did have to guess #2 though, ive always known it as 3.5mm jack :shock:

Same here, but process of elimination left no choice. I think the phrase "tip and ring" is quite American; or at least I've not heard it used that much over here.

Also calling the RJ11 a "telephone plug" I think is a bit foreign, although you could clearly see it was 6P4C not 8P8C so the answer was unambiguous.

My telephones all have RJ45 sockets... But I knew what they meant, most analogue modems had RJ11, even in countries which use a different wall socket, so it is fairly well known these days.

Yet again I failed to drop in on the half pipe in our suburb last night. My elbow and bottom are rather sore as a result, never the less I shall be back down there to try again (for the third day) tonight, think I might have a couple of drinks first this time though.


Nailed it over the weekend. ( :D ) I don't think my knees are too happy about the failed attempts though. At some point while out skating at the weekend my skates went in opposite directions, to save my manhood I bent my knees in and one buckled underneath me, initially I thought I'd done ligament damage or something similar, but now it's just sore when I bend it in certain positions. Oh well, be back practicing tonight.
