hmmm - interesting question!!

I will ask my DS when he gets home from school - see what he comes up with.

My first thought (if I was answering it right here and now) would be I have no space and no time!!!!

This question is about much more than space and time. I would bet this is a big bursary/scholarship question.

I meant, this was not specifically about time and space as such, but a type of question to discover how you think, how quickly you can respond to unexpected questions, how creative you are, how well you think in the abstract.

Just to clarify - this wasn't an entrance exam question but part of an assessment by an education psychologist.

DS is 9 years old, so not yet a 'thoughtful 11 year old', but we're working on it

Thanks for all the suggestions, Coolmum's comment

I have no space and no time!!!!

really struck a chord and made me smile.

I'll definitely revisit the question with DS, give him something to engage his brain with, that I might stand a chance of keeping up with him on. (sorry grammar shot there - brain has been severely frosted waiting for the bus this morning).
