I actually found this one to be OK! Similar in structure essentially to past papers, and with only the last question being a bit of a 'WTH' moment. Some were very boring though e.g. the ratio one and the flowers/seeds one. The simaltaneous (sp?) equations required quite a bit of brainpower

But yeah, it was a lot better than the one on Fri. -
