Prize Maths Quiz: The Middle Secondary Paper (PMQ19)

I haven't done this before. Admittedly, there has only been one other Practice Paper published so far, so here's a first. Instead of having one question for this PMQ, the aim is to get the highest marks on this week's Mini Practice Paper for Middle Secondary.

You can download the paper here. As it is a Mini Paper, it is just 12 questions designed to be done in 30 minutes. You have almost 4 days in which to submit your answers! Think of it as this weekend's puzzler.

When you submit your answers, just write a list of the questions and the letter of your chosen answer. I don't need to see your full calculations - just the answers. You can discuss the correct methods in the comments section below. I shall mark it as if it was a test paper.

The answers and solutions shall be published next week after this PMQ has closed.

Good Luck!






You may discuss the question below, but no full answers, please, until the competition has closed!
