I wonder if the Antipodean would like to try?


Number sequences and special span, how did others get on? Up to about 5
numbers or 5 different squares I could cope okay. 6 was a definite
threshold when my LIFO memory failed. Clearly I can only store 5 bits...


Umm.. Good on pattern recognition and word meanings. As above for
numbers and squares. I struggled a bit with matching blocks. Still
convinced they got the rules wrong! Pattern/shape recognition good but I
struggled with matching expressions. I felt it was a bit unfair to mix
races for those who don't get out much.


It also seems unfair that there are no points for spotting bad grammar in
the quiz.
