    Better, it seems, that the test writers are at English. You call question 8 a maths problem? pfft. 10 from 10 for me. No sleep, no pen, paper, calculator or calculation aides.

      Is for me - when I left school and went to Uni, I didn't even own a calculator! (I did own two slide rules though, and I think I still have both of them) :laugh:

      I haven't owned a Calculator in my life. Does that make me a genius?

          10/01 no calculator. If you thought you needed one you've either completely forgotten how to do basic math; or missed the easy way to do some of the problems.

          Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                      That's the only one I got wrong, as I missed the "in cm" bit at the end. Not really math, more reading. Iain.

                        I scored 100% :) Used a calculator for two of the three Mount ... questions because I was too lazy to calculate it on paper. Did the rest in the head.

                          Being "Brighter than BoJo" is akin to being "Better looking than SuBo"* - a feet most can attain and a point of embarrassment should you fail. * I was going to say "Less Promiscuous Than Paris", but no-one fails that test.

                                  Why would that be questionable? How do you think the speedometer calculated the average speed? Obviously it took the total 6 km and divided it by the total time of 1/3 hour to arrive at 18 km/h.

                                    I was fine until the car questions. I'm behind a websense firewall and couldn't see the picture (I assume there was a picture) so had to guess those!
