[cite]Posted By: razil[/cite]6/8 got galllop one wrong and number sequence, can some bright spark explain the latter?
the numbers were going down in sequence so 23 was wrong because it was
so 1to 9 = 8 , then 9 to 16= 7 so it should have been 22 - ie 16 to 22= 6 hence the sequence 8, 7 and then 60 -

those who got it right what was reasoning behind the number sequence, pls?0
-
razil, as above, though I counted down from the top.
8/8, no calc (but pen & paper!) went to Bexley Grammer, wasted my time there ;)0 -
7/8
Didn't get the sequence question at all.0 -
I got the number sequence wrong and still don't understand it!!0
-
counting backwards subtract the number each time.. I think..0
-
Got 7/8 but didnt understand the bricks question. Can someone enlighten me. Probably really obvious but I just didnt get what they were saying.0
-
The bricks would be built like this
9-10-11-12-13-14-15
Started at 9 high and then 1 brick higher each time (to build the step), seven in total, so the last step would be 15 high.
Then just add them up /total them.0 -
1,9,16,23,27,31,34 were the numbers
Basically the numbers SHOULD go down in sequence 8,7,6,5,4,3,
You see 1-9 is 8 - - - - 9-16 is 7 - - - - 16-23 is 7 which is where it is wrong as it should have been 16-22 being 6 - - - -
My sone gets this stuff all the time but harder at Senior school now so got to be o the ball - not that he needs my help he's shit hot at maths.0 -
7/8 got the galloped/raced one wrong.0
-

Sorry 8/8!!
Brings back bad memories. Passed 11+ was sent to Dartford Grammar, while all my mates went to St. Stephens (St. Columbus as it is now). Forced to play Rugby and Cricket and learn latin!!!!!
Fitted in about as much as a bloke with no arms at a Javelin throwing contest!
Subsequently spent the next 4 years staring out the window and dodging blackboard rubbers. :-(0 -

You obviously had the same latin teacher there as I did.0 -

Chrome Dome!!!!!!!!!!! ?0 -
The guy who used to throw board rubbers when I was there had a gorbachov style birthmark on his forehead and a moustache straight out of a 70's porn film.0

that's the guy.0

I suspect I'm a bit before both of your times.
Although, there was a Saunders who chucked board rubbers, vaguely remember him as a History teacher during my time. Another guy called Patterson was just plain barking and when he wasn't chucking things he was turning over desks.
Chrome Dome never chucked anything as far as I remember just taught you like you should already know what he was going on about. That sketch in 'Life of Brian' is soooo spot on.0 -
7/8 for me - Can't remember which one I got wrong now (not the sequence one though - I'm pretty good at those)
I went to Wilmington Grammar as I refused to go to Dartford Grammar because I wanted to play football.
That's certainly tougher than the 11+ I took in the late 80's though0 -

Chrome Dome left about 1984/85 time.
The senior library was his own private domain - you would have thought he was lending out his own books.
Luckily I didnt do Latin, I took German as my option in 2nd year.
Mr Patterson was a nutter, he used to stomp around the room with his arms swinging around like a neanderthal - during one lesson I was spinning an american football shaped rubber around on my desk. Next thing I knew was being dragged accross the classroom by my tie, knocking desks all over the place.
These days the kid would be onto the police claiming assault.
