PPE Interview questions

I'm keen on applying to Oxford to study PPE in 2015. I was wondering whether anyone knew of any past PPE interview questions?
Thank you

Can you set this table on fire?

JUST KIDDING!

I'm applying for 2015 entry, but I've done some sleuthing and found some pamphlets from schools that have experience sending students to Oxford. Here's what they say:

Can Science and religion ever be comfortable bedfellows?
- What is Communism?
- What are the origins of wage inflation?
- How is the study of Politics enhanced by the study of Philosophy and Economics? (and any
other way round)
- What has been Britains greatest political achievement of recent years?- Define government why do we need a government?
- What is the difference between a society, a state and an economy?

That was just first glance.

Hey,
Thank you for sending me these. I've been trawling through numerous websites and couldn't find anything! You probably already know this but I have heard that multiple Economics interviews have focussed on Game Theory - I thought I would give you a heads up as this section of Economics doesn't feature on the A level syllabus.
Good luck and thank you again for your help!
