Interview Questions

I have been very unimpressed with the previous ones so to save time in the interview I am handing this questionaire out in the lobby and will quiz them on the answers in the interview. These questions are based on working in the oilfields of remote West Tx using Trimble GPS and most of all my experiences. Let me know if you guys have any other good questions I could throw in.Pick the best answer given on multiple choice questions1.
