I think PF is a blessed place to have a member like you. Yes, so good! :nb)

8/13 is too many to me.:wideeyed:
Nice try ;)
my score is 8 out of 13
6, (At least I was mostly right about some technical aspects of the various experiments and what they are.)
You are right – the tunnel was started much earlier. That’s another bad question. However, it is possible to start building magnets before the LEP tunnel was emptied.

[QUOTE=”Silicon Waffle, post: 5132289, member: 535531″]That is fully loaded, your brain should contain a large volume of LHC knowledge.[/QUOTE]
Not particularly — it’s just I seem to have a pretty good recall of what I’ve read about the LHC recently.

3/13
I decided not to take the test when I saw the first question and I realized it was a good decision when I continued reading other questions!

Nevertheless, the first papers were based on data obtained at 900 GeV.
7/13 yikes.

I had no clue on any quetion and guessed every single one, so that says something about multiple choice tests.

Failed..:oldfrown:

[QUOTE=”PAllen, post: 5131555, member: 275028″]11/13, but several somewhat lucky guesses.[/QUOTE]
Nice work! Some of the numbers can be tricky.
6/13
Fortunately, I read a lot of your posts or it would have been 3 out of 13!
8 of 13, did I beat MFB?
I got 13/13Unbeatable
Construction started in 1998? But LEP was still down there :/
6/13, mostly guessing. I divided 300,000 by 27 to get 11,000 times a second (close to light speed) and of course the picture looks like a "compact" muon solenoid…
11/13, but several somewhat lucky guesses.
