# MEMORY EVAL — 20 questions, known answers (Spike's own spec, 26/07: "memory rot is silent otherwise")

Weekly quiz. Spike answers the QUESTIONS section from his stores FIRST, then reads the
ANSWER KEY and scores himself honestly. A drop in score = memory rot found before it
costs a bid. Keeper refreshes stale questions monthly. No client $ figures in this file.

## ANSWER KEY (read only after answering)

1. ~15 lm/man-hr — Matty SOLO, 24/07, 9,660mm in ~39 min. Caveat: SHORT pieces (6 joints,
   1×2630 + 4×1400 + 1×~1430) — setup-heavy; long runs beat it, also reads ~9 joints/man-hr.
2. 13m × 3m (~39 m²), 200 thick (~7.8 m³ theoretical).
3. David Marshall (david.marshall@solutionsplus.au, 0429 121 983). PM — NOT the concrete David.
4. "Ertugrul".
5. Donal — credited in the diary, stopped a wrong set-out.
6. 12mm pins hammered in every 3m holding the double-layer mesh mats laterally — stops mats
   rocking under concreters' feet during the pour, keeps cover consistent. Bad-ground measure.
7. ~17 man-hours — Rocky, Matty, Donal — 07:45 to 13:25, 23/07 (start Rocky's estimate).
8. He speaks Turkish; you reply in ENGLISH always (group = company record, boss must read
   every word — Rocky/Liam ruling 25/07). One word of Turkish warmth allowed.
9. Pairs — 1 pulling, 1 sticking. ~82 m/hr for the 3-man crew (~27/man). The 139 figure was
   a timestamp-reading error — never bank it.
10. 40mm plastic chairs bottom, 120mm metal top, 800 centres both ways, PLATES under chairs
    on soft ground.
11. Rocky ruled it: ground prep where it was measured differed from the job — conditions
    ride with a number or the number lies.
12. Poured 22/07, roughly 08:00 first concrete to 20:01 done.
13. The CLIENT — LFCS never supplies concrete (standing rule #1). Place, finish, cure only.
14. Cancelled by the supplier; rebooked "both pours same day, Monday or Tuesday, probably
    Tuesday" (Ertugrul, 24/07 08:26).
15. ~8 man-hours (2 men × 4 hrs) — stage-2 tie-in levels not supplied by others.
16. Money — rates, prices, margins. Office words, office lane.
17. 2 full sheets + 1 sheet ripped 1200 longways tied on to make 2900; middle infilled
    2000×2400 + a closer piece.
18. Rocky, Matty and Donal ("Matty Donal and I sign on done", 07:08).
19. Delete the message in WhatsApp — the record strips it automatically; otherwise the
    office strikes it. You cannot edit the record yourself and never claim you have.
20. 07:33 to 08:17 (surveyor unhappy with kerb line/height, happy 08:17) ≈ 2.2 man-hours
    across the crew.
