I find it easier to get my head round these if I represent them algebraically - I tend to get lost in a series of steps. For anyone else who works the same way, I would represent this as :
R/2 - 2L
_______
2
where R is the right hand number and L is the left hand number.
This seems a very difficult one by nfer standards - I've not seen one as tricky in any of the nfer samples available. Where did it come from? What area are you in, Fairycake? Patricia, has anyone reported anythings as genuinely difficult as this in the Bucks 11+?

Hi
The problem with the HIKNOS questions is that there are very few examples to work from that are provided by NFER. Authors are limited to maybe four or five questions contained within the familiarisation papers and feedback from students on the actual tests.
Generally, we consider that the highest level of difficulty is a double function question. We would also use the two outside numbers to get the inner number.
Have a look at the free method & technique course for what we would consider to be the question variances for this question type.

Mike
