14/15 here.
The final alternating sequence got me too.

Could you pass the 11+?

11/15 for me, one of which was Q15, I too have alternating sequence blindness.
I doubt I'd have "passed" in 1972 when I would have been 11.
What is the "pass" mark? 100%?

15/15, although it was surprisingly tricky

14/15 - last one got me also but as soon as I seen the answer I was kicking myself.
As per GrahamS as soon as I spotted the "ST" code it was easy.
From a scummy comprehensive school way down in the league tables...

I got 11 and was told I'd passed, so no.

14/15, but I'm sure I would have got the last one when I was 11. The intervening years haven't been kind to my brain

I reckon extra knowledge sometimes makes these things harder, glenh.
On Q15 I saw a sequence where the diffs were 1,1,0,2 so I got drawn into thinking that it must be some variation on the Fibonacci sequence.
My 11 year old self wouldn't have had a clue what the Fibonacci sequence was and would have spotted the pattern straight away.

15/15 but I reckon it took 5 minutes to work out what the flip was going on in 7&8. In the end I only managed to work out that E=3, but that was enough to solve it.
15 took a minute or so too

15, also passed it in 1967. Shows the results of a good state school education.

14/15 - Q15 did not make sense to me

i failed my 11 plus in 1974, we took it even though it would have no bearing on what school we went to (thankfully). Had i not been in the comprehensive system I don't think i would have ended up reading Aeronautical Engineering @ Bristol. 15/15 BTW

Even when explained?

5/15
Canny do numbers or see number patterns or anything. or puzzles. Very frustrating. I hate cards and chess. I forget the number I've just worked out and have to repeat it so many times I just give up.
But if some physical problem is in front of me I can see it in a way other folk can't. It's weird. Usually practical mechanical things.
