Ohhh, ask historical questions...

Well, this is the digital age, fat chance of those questions ever getting there again...

However, when the DMV starts asking questions on how to properly groom a horse--and what to do if the horse ever farts in public--you will know that world is ripe for such...

omissions.

What's the difference between a Colpitts oscillator and a Hartley
Oscillator? Draw schematics of both showing the differences.

What is the purpose of a 'swinging choke'?

Ah!! Those were the days ....n :-)

Ben:

Give us a couple of examples of what you think are difficult, relevant
and appropriate questions, let us see how difficult you think this
"rocket science" is, exactly?

Indeed, if there is something you are having a problem with, there are
those here which can help you...

That dictated multiple choice, and it's hard to make a tough multiple
choice test.

Of course what do I know? I'm just a cave man who passed the tests!
