Bond's How to do 11+ VR
Question 73 of the pull-out test,
--88 65 -- 58 22 51
The answer given was 72 and 44. But my son says 72 and 55 is also correct, his argument is 22+33=55, and 55+33 is 88 on the reverse order. This means that the question has more than one answer but Bond has not identified that. Can someone tell us the above argument is correct?
Thanks

Hmm, I should think that Bond were ignorant of the fact there were 2 answers. I wouldn't fret over it; in the real 11+ you would never expect to find anything like double answers, etc.
Conclusion: The answer given is correct, so is your son!
Maybe if they put another number before the 72 then it would clarify the answer. Don't worry too much about it.

Hello Kevin8,
The answer on the book is correct.
Q 73: fill in the number in sequence: __ 88 65 __ 58 22 51
Aswer:
58 - 51 = 7 ( so for every other number you add 7)
Say 58 + 7 = 65 & 65 + 7 = 72
then for the other number you look for a common partern
i.e. 22 __ 88
so double 22 = 44 & double 44 = 88 and so on
hence the answer 72 & 44
look on page 66 on How to do 11+ VB, for some more examples.
hope this helps.

Dear All
Both are valid answers, using the 'every other one' technique.
72 ............ 88 .............. 65........... 44.........58.........22............51
72 miss one subtract 7 = 65
65 miss one subtract 7 = 58
58 miss one subtract 7 = 51
88 miss one and half = 44
44 miss one and half = 22
72 ............ 88 .............. 65........... 55.........58.........22............51
72 miss one subtract 7 = 65
65 miss one subtract 7 = 58
58 miss one subtract 7 = 51
88 miss one subtract 33 = 55
55 miss one subtract 33 = 22
Out of interest Kevin, which area of the country are you looking at? Is Bond relevant to the school / area you are applying for?

Sequences can use all 4 operations, in a number of ways...
+ 2 x 3
-5 and double
+7 - 2 + 3 [groups of 3 then start again] +7 - 2 +3
divide by 3 then + 7
Using the above but using alternate numbers.
Fibonacci code [the previous 2 numbers add up to the 3rd]
Square numbers 3 9 4 16 5 25 6 ?
etc etc
Take a look at the Tutors free download, they give a number of examples for sequences....
