GCSE Results, how well would you have done

...well I've not lost it; 7/7 with nary a guess.

I'm surprised at you both with the binary/denary (well Zero at least) as the answer patently had to be an even denary number, and only one of them is so you don't even have to "do the math". 
 

7, with a half guess at the Greek queen. No need to convert the binary. Only one of those answers could be right.

Edit:  I see I was wasting my time trying to avoid a spoiler, somebody already did it...

I'm surprised Zero got the binary one wrong - as said already the number was even and there was only one in the list to choose from. Nothing to work out.

I guess that Queen question incorrectly so 6/7 for me. The others were easy - surely not an indication of the difficulty of some GCSE questions?

First the dodo died, then Di died and Dodi died. Dido must be shitting herself.

6/7 - have never studied binary or chemistry so the chemistry one was a guess. It sounds as if most of you guys came up on the science side if Dido was the difficult one. She'd make a good crossword clue - "ancient queen said to have met her end penniless".

Indeed..I was hopeless and Geography and History at school. Did Maths, Phys, Chem for A-level. But now I have a great interest in good writing (I hate poorly drafted valuation reports and mine are carefully crafted to minimise the amount of text and maximise understanding), really enjoy history, especially social history, and am fascinated by how all these topics fit together. Something like " there was a society that operated in this way, it changed because of climate changes or war or disease and now it is like this or it disappeared altogether".

I have this great sense that we are living in a period of massive upheaval unlike anything since the Industrial Revolution (if not before), but can't yet see it or maybe we will be long dead before it is recognised as such...
