This is kind of fun: news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/7773974.stm

It's been 22 years for me and I've not been tutored for this test this afternoon Wink - I got 13/15. One of those was inexcusable and I'm ashamed of myself, the other I didn't have a danny about!

They're quite logical/mathematical.
I got 15/15 in 4 minutes Grin (show off) didn't think of them as particularly difficult, just a little long winded compared to today's style of questions. Most of them had 2+ steps to work out the answer.

Didn't take 11+ but it would have been 38 years ago Shock and got 13/15 as well.

Oh dear, question 16 should've been "when did you take your 11 plus?" because for me it's actually 27 years, not 22. Blush I'd like to be 32 again though if that can be arranged.
