[zapster]

I got an 80 :rolleyes:

...zap!

[tessdad]

I got an 80 also, MAYBE if we all get 80's the teacher will scale the test and give us ALL 100's!

[TozziWelding]

I just took it and got an 80 also, must be rigged.

[stroker_dave]

I got a 60...I feel like such a failure.

I'll feel much better, though, if I win the helmet!!:)

Dave

[imagineer]

I got 100% . . .want the answers?

[oilfieldtrash]

Not rigged, I just scored a 40. I'm just a hobby welder and shot darts at all of the answers. Looking forward to the safety glasses and info. on their products.

[MAC702]

I got 100, BEFORE reading the posts... :) So if it called me "an encyclopedia of knowledge" what was it calling you guys?

[MoonRise]

Got an 80, so I missed one.

Looking forward to the auto-darkening helmet. :cool2:

[Chubbz]

just tried it got 100%, must be something wrong

[littlefuzz]

Got a 100%, I guessed at #1. Why people got to ruin the quiz by giving the answers? That's no fun.

[TozziWelding]

Well I don't use an auto dark helmet anyway, so it is all null and void.

[Bob at WeldingMag]

I've deleted the message that gave the answers to the Pop Quiz.

The process here is that everyone who takes it gets entered for prizes. So while I'm sorry if someone ruined the fun by providing the answers, it doesn't affect the prize selection.

[drivesector]

60% Guess I should have stayed in school. Would like the new shield though. Mabe better than the Miller I just got a few months back, Im not realy digging it other than the cool Joker on the side.

[elvergon]

I got a 60% maybe that´s because I don´t have a Auto darkening helmet...
maybe this quiz will help me with that ;)

[chopper5]

i got a 60% :confused:

[alanaker]

80% No idea what that first one was without looking it up...

[ElectroLight]

Got me a 100% but no encyclopedia here

[IH 392]

60..wow

[Alberta Fabricator]

Only one I didn't know was the first question :confused:

got 80%

[Sandy]

I got 100, BEFORE reading the posts... :) So if it called me "an encyclopedia of knowledge" what was it calling you guys?

Ha, and here I am with all the right answers for everything just waiting as patient as can be for someone to get the questions right!! :)

[Gearhead]

I got a 60, its the rest of you top scoring guys that through the curve off so bad..............:nono:

[383bigblock]

Got a 100 ...so where do I pick up the $100K prize

[cowboy3669]

got a 60 here

[rookie]

Well I feel purdy darn smart,I got a 60%:cool2:

[Joker11]

I got an 80 and am kinda ticked off it didn't tell me which one I missed. Or I didn't pay close enough attention to the results.
Either way....it was an email grab for marketing purposes.

[Countryboy45683]

Wasnt sure on the first one. Got an 80 though.

[redfish_joe]

Got a 60... just give me my old pipe welding hood:laugh:

[Clanweld]

60 here, don't know which ones I got wrong cause the test doesn't tell you, kinda takes the interest away from trying again. Good idea, though. Should make more of these and up them to say 15-20 questions, mix it up on the subject matter too. My vote is one every couple of weeks or once a month, on a particular subject. Oxy Cutting, Mig aluminum, safety prceedures, oxy welding, math, stick, even fabricating and rod selection; could be a lot of fun. And make it more fun by giving you which ones you flunked out on at the end of the test. Like to see more of these! ('Course if you could throw in a little goodie for a winner would that be nice too...)
If there is no one available to devote the time to making up the questions, I'll wager you would see some volunteers here to put them together so someone could just review them and make the post.

[g-off]

Looks like I got you all beat...20 on my first try! lol. Did it again and got a 60. I even have a Jackson EQC helmet and I think I got that one wrong...

[BBchevy396]

A 100%......... What?...... I didn't deserve it, I guessed!

[NAC25]

Scored an 80% and I was just poking in the dark at the questions...some of them just made more sense then others.
:p

[tompit9]

I also got 60
-------------
97 4x4 f250
55 lincoln SA200

[Brad-Man]

I got an 80 - Didn't know about TIG since I only MIG, and have heard from others about probs w/TIG and their helmets.

[Ironheart]

Just got a 100%. I feel so proud.

[Narco]

I got a 100%...Also guessed at the first one.

[Rockski]

60 here

[Trevor33]

I got a 40%. I have an auto darkening helmet but dont know allot about it, guess I need to learn more about my helmet.

[MNSTRBLDR]

GOT 100%.........The 3rd time:p :p

[sc6chuck9]

I got 80, sure my son doesn't see this as I demand 100 from him or I had better see a book in his hands,,,,,

[Rick Moran]

80% here too. I just started looking into prices and types because I'm considering asking for one for Xmas present. Anyone have any thoughts or knowledge on which brand? I'm looking at either the Millermatic Elite or Hobart XLPi (?). Somewhere around the $200 to $300 range.

I had laser surgery done some years back and I figure that's cheap insurance for my eyes.

[Leadhead1911]

I got 100... Not that the score really matters. Looking forward to the safety glasses and a chance to win the welding helmet. I'm not, however looking forward to all the new spam and junkmail that I'm going to receive now that I gave someone else my email and home address. I guess nothing in life is free though... Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

[greatbg]

I got a 100%. I checked out their wepsite before the test. I allready received my new safety glasses. Real cool.:cool2:

[elvergon]

When will we know who´s the winner?

I´m looking at my christmas gifts =)

[xianwdf]

Hi there,

I have a message into Jackson Products to see if they've chosen the winner. I believe they have but am waiting on the final results. We'll be sure to post them the minute they come in.

Thanks for your patience,
Christian
Welding Magazine

[MoonRise]

Hmmmm, took the quiz almost 2 months ago, filled out the survey and the address info and all, and no safety glasses yet? :confused:

Maybe they are going to send the glasses to me in the same box as the helmet? :cool2: :waving:

[blackberry]

I got a 40 and I just bought the same helmet yesterday. (all my troubles seem so far away) sorry. Maybe I'll have to of em:realmad:

[Guttafixit1]

[Guttafixit1]

[beth at weldingmag]

The winner of the NextGen HaloX auto darkening helmet is:

John Craik
Mountain Auto Parts

Everyone who took the quiz before the cutoff date will soon be receiving their safety specs. Jackson Products will be shipping them on 01/12/07.

Congratulations John and Thank you Jackson Products!

[MoonRise]

Congratulations John.

Rats to me.

Thanks for the follow-up and update Dana and welding web. Nice to know that the freebies weren't lost somewhere.

Oh, and thanks to Jackson for the offer and promotion.

[rotty]

Well look what I found sitting on my porch last night. Thanks WeldingWeb and Jackson. This helmet blows away the HF one that I've been using. I've not posted much cause I'm still learning and practicing what I read on here. Well I guess now when people ask for recommendations on what brand of helmet to get I can throw my 2 cents in. By the way I'm smiling in the pic.:D

[littlefuzz]

[Migion]

So can we have the answers now..........?

[tresi]

Got the glasses today. this time for real. They wear really comfortable. I like them but too bad they won't work eyeglasses. I gave them to a youngster in the plant with good eyes.

[MoonRise]

Yup, got mine yesterday.

Thanks Jackson.

[Xwelder]

got mine...thanks Jackson

[redfish_joe]

Mine got here Friday.. Thanks Jackson

[wello]

I'll let you know if they send to australia if they come

[lotechman]

I got mine... In Canada no less! I don't use them but they were a hit with the guy I gave them to at work today. The foreman suffered though. The shop supplied ones are cheap don't last as well as being uncomfortable. My workmate made sure the foreman saw what a decent pair of safety glasses looked like.

[BBchevy396]

Got mine....... Nice glasses, Thanks Jackson!

[wello]

I guess Jackson don't send freebee's to oz oh well

I think comps/quiz's need to marked US /Canada only or for everyone regards less

I think most of us work on the theory if its free its for me :laugh:

[Joker11]

I got mine and I really like them. Rockout!
:cool2:

[Bob at WeldingMag]

Wello, you're right. I apologize. We'll do better in the future.

SURVEY HAS EXPIRED

[Shubes]

I took the quiz even though it was well past the deadline (and stated on the site).

Am I the only one who got an odd-numbered score? Scored a 67, and it told me I was "a little rusty".

ha! I'd say more than a little!

But since I'm so filthy rich, I'll just buy the company and give all of you free NextGen HaloX hoods, how's that?

(Don't hold your breath...)

[clark-kentski]

I took the test late too, and only got a 33 thats why I'm posting this anonymously :cool:

[clark-kentski]

Oops !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:laugh:

[boominrick]

i want some glasses! can i take a test?

[aczeller]

i got 100... i know it;s rigged now that i got 'em all right and Tozzi and Zap only got 80's. i really don't know how i got 100... i guess my good looks... :P


Later,
Andy

[Skwerly]

ROFL: You may be a little rusty. Why don't you try again?

With a 50% I feel pretty silly, most those I was sure of. The first one i still have no clue, and the last one.......shouldn't have been in there lol. Oh well, back to the shop :).

***Note: it says on there the contest has ended, so if you do this quiz, it's just for fun guys.

[roborob76]
