Mike,
What is happening? I expected many questions from you!
I do remember a "certain" ski tuning course you attended when all this was discussed! (Well most of it)!!!
I can not help to help you "engineers" since you are so close! Think,,,what do F1 cars, Stealth bombers and skis have in common as far as primary goals!
Yes yes you got it....to be at the "fine point" of product changes,,,, using new technological materials to make the final product better, faster, ligther, stronger, etc....
Or in other words, "why do modern skis "carve" so well?
Think!

Gordie,
So sorry about "getting you away" from work and serious studies! Let me make you a bet. 20 years from now what will you remember? What will you use?
I bet you will remember all the answers to this fun quiz since many will help you ski better! Also I am sorry to tell you this but you are now "addicted"! You will sneak by every so often to check what "others" are answering! You now have a personal stake!
That thesis is for others, for that paper,,,these questions and their answers is for you!( the future expert skier)! So when you will use those numbers, and your son asks you how come you know them by heart, you will smile and remember this quiz!
By the way, the shortest Ph.d thesis was one line! An equation to determine Factorial Analysis using varimax rotation! It took a book to explain what the equation meant!

Tony,
I only wish! I often make mistakes, like the time I "assumed" a young lady on this site was a man, but I try to learn from my mistakes! Thus not repeat them!
There is a whole new way of considering learning,,,,real learning in which central concept is the learner! You retain "terms, concepts" when it pertains to you! Your image, your success, your performance! When you do it for others,,,,,for that school mark, that Phd. etc,,,you forget much after three weeks!
Since Gordie is "addicted" he will soon want to become a better skier! He will soon read all about skiing! Then he will buy videos!
Then of course the ski classes will begin!
Then like Elistine, summer skiing on plastic.
Then like Jan and Bandit move to a place where you can ski.
Of course he will look for a spouse who MUST also ski
The final stage of this addiction is flying down to "south" to ski all Summer in New Zealand or Chile!
Be warned Gordie!
Tony you are just in phase 4 based on my readings of your posts! It is the most dangerous phase! Be careful since 2009 will show you why!

You are soooo right Pavel, I am coming back to check far too often already :oops:, along with searching for ski holidays, and checking out universities near ski slopes that I can apply to work at when I've finished (if I finish) writing up....seriously, anything other than work!!
Even posts on other threads have given me more ways of procrastinating..... in a 1 hour seminar this morning, I was re-living my skiing holiday (an idea you guys gave me!), the guy must have thought i really enjoyed his lecture because of the smile on my face...didnt hear a word though! :lol:

Sorry to break it to you Pavel......Geordie refers to where I'm from, and is not unfortunately my name......which is actually a girls name..... :lol:
But on everything else you are spot on.....I have already bought some videos... :oops: and am hunting down ways to try skiing on plastic!!!!
So yes, I think its time I stood up and said....
'My names Jacqui and I'm a skiaholic....'

Hi Jacqui!
Welcome and well done for taking the most important step, admitting your addiction :)
As for you Pavel - My nights were spent in splendid perfection until this ridiculous list of questions turned up! I just wish I could post half of the answers I have considered but I don’t think Mr Admin’s server would handle the volume :shock:
So in the spirit of Jacqui’s admission, I too must confess … “I am addicted to Pavel’s quiz” :oops:
By the way did I miss the announcement of the closing date?
Now then where was I, 3 67 48 255 7 …
