I'd rather have a speed boat. As I live in the Derby area, it would probably be more use than a DNO number phone no.

lol, indeed. However, if the answer to a fairly simple question 'is it B or am i a bit thick' gets 6 pages, then that concept will roll on for ever...In passing, note that is doesn't only apply to circles, nor even only to 2-D figures - which is something that many people don't realise.
Quite so, but it's an on-line phenomenon - a late 20th/ early 21st century version of what has gone on in pubs and bars since the year dot. Judging by some of what we see, I suspect that some of the contributors may perpetuate that tradition fairly literally by ensuring that their blood alcohol levels are pretty high before they 'say their piece'lol, indeed.

We might even end up talking about cylindricity before long
Are you still saying that because you still believe that "supply undertaking" is not acceptable as a compound noun? (i.e. would you have thought differently if it had said "Where PME conditions apply the main bonding conductor should be determined after consultation with the DNO"?) If so, does that mean that you didn't accept the explanation which I gave at the bottom of page 2?"Where PME conditions apply the main bonding conductor should be determined after consultation with the supply undertaking"
It's not pedantic to say it doesn't make sense. It just doesn't and that's as far as you need to take it when deciding what the answer to the question is.
Exactly, and that has been my point all along - the mere existance of the debate (in which some views are strongly polarised) is evidence enough for me that it's a poor question. Those who argue strongly that there is only one correct answer (whichever one they subscribe to!) appear to be missing that.Wading in rather late in this one, but here goes.....
Any multiple-choice question which provides two or more answers which could be correct but demands that only one option be selected is poor, and this is definitely an example of such a question.
The note is not an "exception" to Table 54.8, it is AN INTEGRAL PART OF TABLE 54.8.And I still say D/ because the question does not mention the note as an exception.
Yup - to size in accordance with Table 54.8 means actually reading Table 54.8 and taking note of the fact the the local distributor's network conditions may require a larger conductor.Therefore you can only determine the size after you have consulted them not before.
Poor ability to read the question and poor ability to read the regulations I says.Poorly worded question I says.
You said you knew the answer they wanted was B.If I answered the question in a way that I believe is wrong (even if that belief is 100% deluded & insane) would you have more respect for my answer than if I deliberately answered it as I believe is wrong just to receive an extra mark?
Many of us (including me) accept that argument as to why B can be regarded as a correct answer. However (give or take all the unnecessary fuss about the phrase 'supply undertaking') in what sense do you think that answer D, in itself, is incorrect? Let's face it, as you say, by virtue of the note in Table 54.8 it is effectively part of the other answer which you believe to be correct - so I can't really see how it can be incorrect itself.If you had taken the trouble to actually read the question, and actually read Table 54.8 (including the note that is an integral part of it) you would have seen that the reason they wanted B was that B was the right answer.
I was out.I see no one has answered the circle question so I'll lift the Ban on ban (Bet he knows the answer)
Well, you got that right!... and, again in perpetuation of the pub tradition, what some people do not seem to understand, in this and countless oither threads, is that there is a difference of opinions and, despite what they may like to think, their opinion is not necessarily the correct one!!
It's incomplete.Many of us (including me) accept that argument as to why B can be regarded as a correct answer.

Let's face it, as you say, by virtue of the note in Table 54.8 it is effectively part of the other answer which you believe to be correct - so I can't really see how it can be incorrect itself.

I toyed with defying the ban last night, but decided not to.
If I had I'd have said the same as you - the name of a straight line between two points on the circumference of a circle is "chord", and the length of the longest such line you can construct is the diameter of the circle.
