a steady 10. I think their answer to no 12 is wrong as the explanation support a different answer.

I think you missed these off @classic33 👍

6 for me.

A poor score, but that didn’t annoy me as much as the poor grammar used in framing question 12.

“Which of these metals has the highest melting point – tungsten or nickel?”

Obviously, the comparative ‘higher’ should have been used, not the superlative ‘highest’.

Don't worry, you were not alone in being annoyed by that.

I'm too drunk to play. My fat thumbs keep missing the 'next' so i've THRREE times accidentally pressed back. Not sure how!

 

[lazybloke]

Okay, had another go, and was very honest and didn't change any of my wrong answers.
8 this week.
