2/4, but again the deliberately spurious answer to Q10 shows you are not playing to win. I believe there are rules against that sort of activity. FWIW the answers to that one might be daft but the question is a direct quote from the regs, and make a point that we are still arguing about 120 years later.
Rather a funny coincidence that another thread happened to post the original 1882 document today of all days:Bugger, that was a mistake on my part. Obviously Q10 is B.
I'm sure I got the fuse one right - I seem to remember seeing the original 2 page regs document and it nentioning hissing. Although the heat answer sounds more reasonable to be fair
