Gee, you know, if my ancient memory is correct, then the resistor in the picture has a value of 1 ohm.
Gold tolerance band, too. +/- 5% ?
Wow, it's nearly 50 years since I had to think of that!
As I remember it goes like this:
(Bad Boys Ravish Our Young Girls But Violet Gives Willingly) ......for the colors
(Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Grey White) and the tolerances
Gold, Silver, and nothing at all for....
5%, 10%, and 20% tolerance.
That's how I was taught to memorise it.
That was 1965, I was in military electronics school; and not knowing that immeadiately would usually earn you a day of KP (Kitchen Police) washing up after the cooks in the dining hall.
Not sure of that 3rd color though.
If it is a grey that makes it 9 places...or 100 Mega Ohms, which may be the intended joke.
But I could be wrong....becuse it has been a LONG time,
Shame on you Shakyamuni for setting the precedent of leaving home.
Did you think it was not there--
in your wife's lovely face
in your baby's laughter?
Did you think you had to go elsewhere (simply) to find it?

Re: Daily Laugh Thread
All beings since their first aspiration till the attainment of Buddhahood are sheltered under the guardianship of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who, responding to the requirements of the occasion, transform themselves and assume the actual forms of personality.
Thus for the sake of all beings Buddhas and Bodhisattvas become sometimes their parents, sometimes their wives and children, sometimes their kinsmen, sometimes their servants, sometimes their friends, sometimes their enemies, sometimes reveal themselves as devas or in some other forms.

Re: Daily Laugh Thread
No jokes posted here in over 3 years?? Time to start this up again.
Some fun facts
1. You can't wash your eyes with soap.
2. You can't count your hair.
3. You can't breathe through your nose, with your tongue out.
4. You just tried number 3.
6. When you did number 3 you realized it's possible, only you look like a dog.
7. You're smiling right now, because you were fooled.
8. You skipped number 5.
9. You just checked to see if there is a number 5.
