I figured edison wouldn't allow it. But I also thought about it for out in the boonies. But I'll probably get a different pole for that so I can have both.

Wouldn't be to hard to make it telescopic, but as I stated earlier; beauty in simplicity

As per your test. I'll give the ones I think I have a fair shot at.
1. Brake horsepower is the amount of feet it takes a vehicle to stop, usually from 60 M.P.H to 0
4. Ignition is the lowest point, combustion is the highest point
5. I think an exhaled breath contains about 50% oxygen
8. Wednesday is the first thing that pops into my head on that one.
10 I should know that, I'm into odd ball trivia and the like.

4. Wrong (But also, there are technical terms used for the positions from the question. The terms you used are stages of a 4-stroke. The technical terms are specific to maximum up and maximum down positions for a piston.)
5. Wrong.
8. Wrong.
10. Wrong.
Better luck next time!
8. Was very close. Wednesday was the day of the week used in the T/F question on a test I took that I got this question from.
