i need a question answered asap .......

[howelsabout]

i am applying for a job and am a total plum when it comes to maths can anyone give me the answer to this question please it may look simple to some but i just cannot see it. tia.

Find the missing numbers in the following sequences 1, 2, 3, 5, ?, 13, 21, ?

• 11 & 24 8 & 45 8 & 34 11 & 34 9 & 45

First one is 8&34

Second one is 12 (don't count Charlie)

Are you sure you want this job?!

its a part time job at primark @amckno you can't have it its mine

@softly yes of course i can do it i'm just not good at maths never really needed to use it in retail before

Bizarre questions.

Maybe Charlie comes in to do shopping there and they need to cut queues?

@kim i have done a maths and english course and have had tutors since i was a child i just simply couldn't grasp it my reading however is perfect and i was above avarage.
no offence taken

I have an MA

Best of luck with the job Howels. I'm crap at Arithmetic but strangely good at Maths

I got over 95% in my Maths O grade but never did the whole Uni thing as we were too poor :(

than you fingers crossed and once again you have completly lost me! whats the difference?

It sounds weirdly like an IQ test...

lol - as far as I remember, Arithmetic is the basics about adding, subtracting etc and is based on knowing your times tables and Maths is more conceptual and also covers Geometry, Algebra and Trigonometry.

Wtf for a pt job at Primark? How odd

I didn't mean that to sound as harsh as it did btw! I annoy recruiters no end as I can't get past the silly numerical testing even though I can manage budgets with my eyes shut

of course i want the job i have had many retail jobs and never have i had to answer questions like these before.

@amck give up if only you could see my face infact it looks pretty much like this >>>

Sequences occur in IQ type things. I hate them. I have Maths A Level and can do the picture IQ things all day, but sequences leave me wanting to rip the paper into tiny little bits.

Hope you get the job, good luck!

Charlie is 4th from the front and 9th from the end

1,2,3,Charlie,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

Does that make it clearer? (count backwards for the end bit)
