Owners of fanless PC's may disagree with question 14.

Yep, seen many computers with a single fan (or none), and the way the question is worded makes it sounds like it's an absolute.

The questions about fans are really wrong, as many people indicated. Many systems operate on single or no fan. And about pushing or pulling air... It depends a lot on case design, but in my experience for mos standard cases, pulling out works better than pushing it and creating hot air poquets. But again, id depends hugely on case and fan selection that an indication one way or the other will always be kinda wrong

It was fun with the fans. My PC has one in the power supply and one on the processor. Waiting for the fans without moving parts.

There are pros and cons for both positive and negative pressure, and either can be designed to work well. For example here are a few pros for positive pressure:
- if you filter incoming air through a fan that creates positive pressure, then you get a lot less dust accumulating in your case
- if you draw air in from the bottom to create positive pressure, it helps to keep rain out
- positive pressure (denser air) extracts more heat
- it can be easier to blow air on hot spots than to channel air to be sucked through hot spots

It's a fun quiz, it cover variety of area of PC building, I don't have much knowledge in new PC components is AIO liquid cooler, so it takes me 3 times to pass. But like other people said, the question about the fans is misleading. Overall it's fun!
