ditto 14/15 still cant work the logic behind q.15  1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th numbers go up by 2 each time; 2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th go up by 1 |

I find maths relatively easy, language a little less so, but a couple there had me thinking for a while - quite tough for the average eleven year old I think.
Was only looking at this as I think it was in one of the big weekend papers that one of the questions in Maths GCSE O level this year was along the lines of
1. Write the number 500,000 in words.
Kind of ridiculous I thought, I'm sure it was like most examples in that it was hand picked to make a point but did seem silly easy for a serious exam
That's the kind of question that differentiates between a G grade student and a U (unclassified/fail) - in the real world the difference between just having a maths GCSE and not having one can make a difference - but any sensible employer wouldn't/shouldn't really differentiate between an F, G or U given how low the standard is to get those grades. |

Think they put that last question in just so that anyone who says they got 15/15 could be marked out as a liar.

Aah, makes sense |

Mitch would probably guess the correct answer to be fair. |

Mitch would probably guess the correct answer to be fair. Quite true - for Mitch, 15/15 is his ratio of pairs/sets on an average night at DTD. |

I got 2/15
Fortunately I have a huge house and an amazing job that pays me an extortionate amount of money so it doesn't matter anyway.

14/15. Got the last one wrong too. Was well annoyed after reading the correct answer for it. Sooooo obvious once you know the answer.

did anybody get the last one right (other than by guessing)? it's odd how no-one seems to be able to see that pattern
