Did it...... with 4 1/2 mins to spare...... would have done it in about 3 mins but got stuck on the last one (forgot about the two sequence option).....
C'mon Orson..... that's just being teacher's pet....
My excuse is that it is now over 3 years since I set eyes on an 11+ paper..... do you think it would help at appeal?

Snap! I did 13 of the questions in less than 3 minutes, but it was the codes that slowed me up - I hate them! But, just like Aunty Patricia always tells us to, when I couldn't get them at first sight, I moved on and came back to them.chad wrote:Did it...... with 4 1/2 mins to spare
I just can't believe that it took me 2 minutes to solve those 2 questions.
But one should never leave codes, you have to say to yourself, 'I know these will take me a bit longer to complete but that does not matter because I am going to get 100% marks!'Sally-Anne wrote: But, just like Aunty Patricia always tells us to, when I couldn't get them at first sight, I moved on and came back to them.

I got them all right [ would have been a bit embarrassing if I scored anything less!] but didn't take note of the time.

If these are the codes on the BBC site I nearly thought "can't be bothered" but then noticed there was a pair of repeated letters at the end of two words - thus it was easy to spot which number pair coded for those letters, and then to match the other words using just those letters without having to solve the whole code... (well, I was quite pleased with myself!)
Does anyone ever do the codeword puzzle in the Times? (back page of T2) - I usually get to the point where I have to make a reasonable guess, but usually it works out OK, although once otr twice I've gone down a blind alley having forgotten an obvious alternative word...

Type N is my blind spot in VR! It takes me far longer to do one of them than it does to do a Type Z.patricia wrote:But one should never leave codes, you have to say to yourself, 'I know these will take me a bit longer to complete but that does not matter because I am going to get 100% marks!'
So, it's "circle the question and move on" for me!
