Have fun at the fun fair in question 8!
Reading Information 4
Reading Information questions challenge you to work out who has done which activities. If you've played the previous three quizzes, you should already be familiar with this type of question.
There is a fair amount of information to absorb in each question and it's difficult to remember it all in your head. As we have suggested before, organising the data into a neat little table will help you no end. So, get your pencils out, take your time and be prepared to solve a few puzzling puzzles!
As you have reached the final 11-plus verbal reasoning quiz in this series see if you can spot a fun question which has some silly answers!
We hope you enjoy the last in the series on Reading Information. An example has been done for you.

A group of friends is comparing how much pocket money they get each week. Elizabeth gets only half as much as Gerard, who gets £14 weekly, but she receives her pocket money daily.

A group of friends is comparing how much pocket money they get each week. Elizabeth gets only half as much as Gerard, who gets £14 weekly, but she receives her pocket money daily. Dylan gets £3 per week more than Gerard. Joseph gets more than Elizabeth but less than Dylan. Using this information decide which of the following statements is true.
Dylan gets the least pocket money each week
Gerard gets the least pocket money each week
Joseph gets the least pocket money each week
Elizabeth gets the least pocket money each week
If we use some basic Maths, we can work out what each child receives each week for pocket money. Gerard gets £14 per week. Dylan gets £17 per week (£3 more than Gerard). Elizabeth gets £7 per week. Joseph gets more than £7, but less than £17. So Elizabeth gets the least pocket money each week

A group of children are comparing their birthdays. Joe was born on March 22nd 2003. Turlough is exactly 6 months younger than Stephen and exactly six months older than Sarah who was born on 22nd September 2004. Sarah is the youngest. Using this information decide which of the following statements is true.
Sarah was born on a Tuesday
Stephen and Joe were born on the same day
Turlough was born in September
Joe is the oldest boy

Four children were playing 'heads' or 'tails' with a 2p coin and they scored 'heads' fourteen times. Dylan and Francis scored heads the same amount of times. Both Annette and Brendan scored heads three times. Using this information decide which of the following statements is true.
Dylan scored 'heads' more than Francis
Francis scored 'heads' more than Annette
Brendan and Francis scored 'heads' the same amount of times
Annette scored 'heads' more than Dylan
This is because the scores were as follows: Brendan = 3 heads, Dylan = 4 heads, Francis = 4 heads, Annette = 3 heads. We know these scores because Brendan and Annette scored 3 each, totalling 6. 14 - 6 = 8, divided equally between Dylan and Francis. Francis definitely scored 4, which is more than Annette

Cameron is on the bus first
Eden is on the bus last
Joseph was wearing a blue hat with a bobble
Finlay is on the bus first
This is because the earliest person whose time we know is Cameron, at 3.15pm. Eden gets on the bus ten minutes later (3.25pm) and Joseph gets on at 3.30pm. Since Finlay is twenty minutes earlier than Eden, she must have boarded the bus 20 minutes before 3.25, at 3.05pm. Keen! And why would we know whether Joseph was wearing a hat, even such a nice one?

Mason's dad Ethan is 36 and Mason is a quarter of his dad's age. Natalie is four years older than Mason. Natalie's mum, Chloe, was 28 when Natalie was born. Using this information decide which of the following statements is true.
Chloe is 40
Chloe is 42
Chloe is 38
Chloe is 41
This is because she was 28 when Natalie was born. We know when Natalie was born because she is 4 years older than Mason who is 9 (a quarter of his dad's age). 9 + 4 = 13. If Natalie is 13, her mum is 28 + 13 = 41

Noah did least activities
Lauren did as many activities as William
Brianna did most activities
William did more activities than Brianna
This is because Lauren did 2 things (half of the four that the boys did) and Brianna did 5 more things than Lauren. 5 + 2 = 7. Those boys are a little too big for the teacups!
