So I just did the 2003 and it made me wonder if it was the hardest there's been.

Any harder?

I thought the early 2000's ones were the easist whilst the last 3 years were the hardest.

2001 and 2002 were beautiful - 2003 not so much. 2004 is much easier by comparison, but still difficult. 2009 and 2010 felt like cakewalks compared to 2003. You know there's something wrong when the answers for the rest of the test are six pages long, and question 10 has the other four...

That is why I put the quotation marks around it, I was confused as to whether people in this thread got a "snow plough" mixed up with a "pulley".. considering the immediate context.

they all really different. Sometimes I get 115-120 and sometimes i get in the 90s. I found 2010 hardish and 1990-1994 hardish, 2006-2009 really easy and 1995-2000 really easy.
