John,
I believe you misunderstood me, I was speaking to Guido about HIS intent of the question he posted:
"BTW, my money is with John T and John/Ont BUT I could be misinterpreting your intent..........."
As for the crankshaft being the origin of engine timing, I agree 100% BUT there are those out there that would say different.........
Multiple choice questions have become so common place in trade schools because they are more convenient for the teacher/instructor than dealing with long answer questions..........Wording a multiple choice question in such a manner that it may be interpreted several different ways with one answer being the BEST is as much of a test of a students grammatical abilities as it is of the students mechanical abilities.................
Ask a student to explain, in detail, all of the four cycles in a four stroke internal combustion engine AND how ALL of the major components are interacting with each other throughout the four cycles and you will have a clear picture of the students understanding of the the subject............
To clarify my point or intentions again, you could take a group of students who have just passed test composed soley of multiple choice questions and re-test them with long answer questions and likley find that 25% of them would NOT have a clear understanding of the subject of the question.........The level of understanding of students taking tests with mutlitple choice questions is inconclusive. People are going to guess and get lucky, it matter of simple mathematics. Not unlike those who win the lottery!
