Bright Sparks Paper 1 - wrong answers?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but my DD2 has just completed the Bright Sparks Paper 1 and we cannot get the answers to questions 68 and 70 to make any sense
They are
No 68
(window down) (sitter test)
(ample [?])
Answer: leap
No 70
(scandals sad) (brandish bid)
(partner [?])
Answer: pen
I am assuming the answers are incorrect, but I cannot find any errata in the pack. I did not do any of these papers with DD1, so they are a new experience for us!
Many thanks to anyone who can shed any light on this for us.

Dear Rose
They are both correct. I teach my children to ignore the second pair, unless there are 2 answers or it’s a spelling one.
I call this type where does the letter come from, I do not put numbers on top of the letters as it wastes time. Care has to be taken if there are a different number of letters in the 1st word of the 1st pair in comparison to the 1st word of the 3rd pair [ as in the 2 examples you have given]
No 68
(window down) (sitter test)
(ample [?])
Answer: leap
D where does it come from? 4th letter, 4th letter of the word ample is L
O where does it come from? 5th letter, 5th letter of the word ample is E
W where does it come from? 1st and 6th letter, 1st letter of the word ample is A [there is no 6th]
N where does it come from? 3rd letter, 3rd letter of the word ample is P
No 70
(scandals sad) (brandish bid)
(partner [?])
Answer: pen
S where does it come from? 1st and 8th letter, 1st letter of partner is P [there is no 8th]
A where does it come from? 3rd and 6th, 3rd and 6th letters of the word partner are R or E
D where does it come from? 5th letter, 5th letter of the word partner is N
Cannot be PRN so must be PEN
Hope this clarifies.

Hi there, I'm also doing it second time around this year (if it makes you feel any better). My daughter's done this paper (rubbed out answers from older child last year!!!) I've had a look and the answers on sheet are correct. I'll have a go at explaining it best I can.
Q 68)
(window down) d=4 0=5 w=1 or 6 n=3
ample = the pattern is 4 5 (1 or 6) 3
4= l
5=e
1 or 6= has to be 1 as ample ony has 5 letters = a
3 = p
= leap
The third letter cannot definitely be determined from 1st set of brackets but can from the second.
( sitter test) t=3 or 4 e=5 s=1 t=1 or 4
Q 70)
(scandals sad) (brandish bid)
165
To maked sad from sandals= s= 1 or 7 (brandish only 1 b so has to be 1)
a= 1 or 7
d=5
pattern is 165 (partner = 1=p 6=e 5 =n
answer is pen
Hope this is of some help. How are you finding doing this second time around??
