   11/10 in 5 seconds whilst fighting off an angry buzzard with my spare hand.

   There's only one maths question, the rest are arithmetic.

But tough enough for junior school, I'd say.

   10/10 mentally in less than 30s at age 51 - To get just 1 wrong is, in my opinion, criminal!

   10/10

Maths takes up a lot of my work though so I've been keeping pretty much on top of it since leaving school

   David, you need to wait for it to load.

I got (surprisingly) 9/10 as I am one of those maths numptys mentioned in the article.

However, helping the eldest with his 11+ questions has obviously had a positive effect on my maths abilities!

   10/10 Thanks.

My website design is better than a nine-year old's too.

   Sorry - can't see it properly as the adverts get in the way.
