Answers will be revealed on Vesak Day (28 May 2010).
1: Door 17 - Carriage 3 (Hence D = Door, C = Carriage)
2: No. Since CCL is fully underground, there is only the track and the 3rd rail
3: 4 Power notches and 3 Braking Notches. 1 Neutral Notch and of course, 1 Emergency Brake notch
4: Yes. TO in the TO cabin can just open the emergency detrainment ramp since the one in this image says how to get into TO cabin and then from there to get the ramp opened and do the emergency evacuation.
5: Tandeum crossoverImage:

Originally posted by Samuel Lee:
4: What question is this? Elaborate please. Anyway, I dont think so, because there is only one emergency detrainment ramp on the end (Each train has 2 emergency detrainment ramp since it has 2 ends). So unless 1 head and the other train's tail detrainment ramp are activiated, but it involves 2 detrainment ramp what?, i doubt so.
A rephrased question has been added. The answer will still be the same.

To Samuel Lee:You need not elaborate the 132/6=22,so that was why I was confused.SORRY.Your score will be:8/10

4. Rephrased: Can a train to train evacuation be done through the front of the train? If yes, how?
2. Of course they have concrete sleepers. Otherwise what else is going to support the rail track? (I suspect you might be referring to a check rail instead)
4. Yes. Instead of pushing the door downwards (which is train to track evac), simply slide the same door aside to give access to the cab of a coupled train. A metal plate is then placed over the gap where passengers/personnel can walk over to the other train.

If I had an image for question 1 in the first post, I'll be giving the answer away. If you meant in the answer key, I'll get flamed because I "took pictures" during the supposed "ban period". So yeah. Details-wise, you just need a keen eye for detail.
