no

the report for 2016 i have seen even guys with 20-29 being shortlisted
They will take into account if it was a hard paper because the spread of results across applicants will be lower. From reading this thread lots of people found it difficult

i hope so
I didn’t find it that hard, I reckon high 80s, was I the only one?
I really struggled with the 2017 paper, I got just over 50 I think, but today I found the 2018 paper really good, I think I probably got around 70/80. It was definitely different to previous papers though.

However, I think it was Q5, the question with the n-towers was essentially a different way of representing another problem from a previous paper (can't remember which), which was quite nice and logical.

I answered most of the questions but there were a couple of parts from 5,6,7 that I couldn't work out.

EDIT: Removed details of Q5 as I've realised some people are yet to take the test.
