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. :-(

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

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.

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.

Same here..
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 6
8/8, no calc (but pen & paper!) went to Bexley Grammer, wasted my time there ;)
Didn't get the sequence question at all.
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.
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 - - - -

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 though
