And that song 'The Sheikh of Arabee' or something? Did the two go together?? (and HOW do you spell 'Sheikh'?)...not that it matters much, of course..it's how you sing it not how you spell it that matters... 8)

When I was sitting my 11plus exam paper I was given this question  to complete: Snow White and Jet......?  Because I was a big fan of Journey Into Space,  which was on the radio at the time, I naturally answered: Jet Morgan, because I thought they meant two fictional characters. Needless to say I failed my 11 plus - I have always thought my answer was better that  the "jet black" one which most people had put down.  :D busy_lizzie

When I was sitting my 11plus exam paper...  busy_lizzie

In mine there was the type of question....if x horses eat y buckets of hay in w days, how much hay do z horses eat in a week...that sort of thing.
I slashed through the question with my pencil and wrote "Impossible to answer. Some horses eat more than other horses."

Still think that's the most logical answer. ::)

Friend went to university as a mature student. Studied philosiphy. First essay was a complicated question about 1st world war and the rights and wrongs of sending troops "over the top" to certain death.

She thought and worried for weeks. Had not ever written an essay in her life.

Did the work and came to me all worried, her essay was 3 words long. Big panic!!

She got top marks.

3 words were...

"Shoot the generals"

 8) True story, I promise!
