[SuspectUsual]

Not Botham.
So far no one has got the nationality right.

I'm pretty sure Sobers did achieve it, so its someone before his time, and not an English, Kiwi or West Indian player..

An Aussie? Alan Davidson maybe?

 

[Peterthegreat]

Sobers was the 2nd person to achieve it.
Davidson wasn't the first.

A change of subject away from sport next.....

What is the PCU value of an articulated bus?

 

[MotCO]

I have no idea what a PCU is in this context, so I'll say 2 (assuming it is a single articulated bus )

 

[Mcr Warrior]

'PCU' means the "passenger car unit" of a particular vehicle. In simple terms it's the space that the vehicle occupies compared to a passenger car, which is usually, by definition, a value of 1.0.

Not a bad guess!

That's correct, so half of the question is answered, as you've defined what a PCU is......so we just need the value that's attributed to a bendibus now!

5?

 

[D1511]

5?

No, that's a bit high

 

[DaleCooper]

4.5

 

[D1511]

4.5

Still a bit high....

 

[MotCO]

3.5?

 

[D1511]

3.5?

That'll do, yes.
3.2 - 3.6 PCUs depending on length.
HGVs are 2.2 - 3.0.
