E: 15/12 Mercedes SLK 200 & other Prizes (Scientific Competition)

Youngski

Still keeping with the random competitions trend, here's a very technical game where you must answer three scientific questions about lab equipment. There are intermediate prizes along with the big win of a car at the end.
It's beyond me so unless some kind person gives us the answers, the car and other prizes are safe!

If you have answered all 3 questions correctly, you automatically participate in the next intermediate draw and also in the final draw.
When you have answered the questions you will be requested to enter your address data and confirm your acceptance of the participation rules.
While the competition lasts we will draw the following prizes:
Intermediate draw (race) 1: until 29.02.2008
1x BMW Touring Bike
10x adidas sports bags
plus a chance to win the first prize
Intermediate draw (race) 2: 01.03.2008 – 30.04.2008
1x Formula 1 Weekend for 2 Tickets for the German Grand Prix at Hockenheim (18.-20.07.2008)
10x adidas sports bags
plus a chance to win the first prize
Intermediate draw (race) 3: 01.05.2008 – 30.06.2008
1x Loewe TV
10x adidas sports bags
plus a chance to win the first prize
Intermediate draw (race) 4: 01.07.2008 – 31.08.2008

plus a chance to win the first prize
final draw (race) 6: 01.11.2008 – 15.12.2008
At the end of the competition the first prize will be raffled among all qualified participants of the intermediate
draws (races) 1-6: 1x Mercedes SLK 200 Kompressor Roadster.
In the menu „prizes“ you find detailed descriptions of the prizes.
Each person can participate once per intermediate draw (once per race). In order to give every competitor the
same chance of winning, multiple entries will be excluded from participating in a single intermediate draw!
Chances of winning the first prize can be increased by participating in each of the 6 intermediate draws (races).
Participation and your chances of winning do not depend on your purchasing goods from or utilizing any paid or
free-of-charges services provided by RETSCH GmbH or any other company concerned with the organization of
the competition. Participation in our competition means that you automatically recognize our Participation Rules as well as our Data Protection Regulations.

Thanks!

The answers are:

Q: Which parameters are measured with PM GrindControl?
A: Pressure & Temperature

Q: The centrifugal mode is characterized by a certain speed ratio of sun wheel to grinding jar. Which ratio is correct?
A: 1:-1 Thanks Clanger999, Northernstar, CheekyLittleMonkey, Lo-Lo. Sorry everyone who used 1:-2

Q: Where do RETSCH manufacture their mills and sieve shakers?
A: Germany

I think . I have linked each answer to the page I took the info from. Answer 3 I assume is Germany as this is where the laboratory is (in Haan)

Zygorf u star!!!!!!! xxxx

dementedhousewife

My Hubby has an SLK... You cant beat the Air Scarf extra:p

Clanger999

Answers (as long as the questions don't change)

1 - Temperature and Pressure (tick both)
2 - 1:-1
3 - Germany

If anyone wants to check there is a help clicky on each question page

Youngski

Many thanks to Zygorf and Clanger999. Now I can actually enter my posted comp!
Good luck everyone!

toniq

theres 2 diff answers for q 2?!?!?!?!!?
which one is def right? zygorf or clanger?????? xxxxxxx
oh well i will ahve to enter for hubby x

Northernstar

I think it could be 1:-1
<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><SCRIPT src="../../../Scripts/fragen_3.php?nr=2&lang=en" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT><FORM id=formredir name=formredir></FORM><TD id=question>The centrifugal mode is characterized by a certain
speed ratio of sun wheel to grinding jar.
Which ratio is correct? the question is in relation to the new PM 100 CM
and it says the following on the help bit, PM 100 CM operates in the centrifugal mode, i.e. the speed ratio is 1:-1 (PM 100: 1:-2).



</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

CheekyLittleMonkey

I have an SLK 200.. your answer to question 2 I think is wrong ???, looked through my manual bumpf and says the correct answer is 1:-1 (centrifugal mode)??

Lo-Lo

Taken from the comp site-

innovation is the
Planetary Ball Mill PM 100 CM.
The speed ratio of sun wheel to
grinding jar is 1:-1 (centrifugal mode)
which leads to a more gentle grinding
process through pressure and friction.

So answer is 1: -1???

Zygorf_2

Sorry I have re checked the info based on the other posts and I now think that the correct answer is 1:-1

The 1:-2 figure is for the PM 100 not the PM 100 CM

The PM 100 CM operates in centrifugal mode, i.e. the speed ratio of sun wheel to grinding jar is 1:-1 (PM 100: 1:-2). This results in a different ball movement which leads to a more gentle size reduction process with less abrasion.

Sorry

I have changed my original post.
