As my dear departed mum always used to say before exams, "remember, dear, always read the question".
When the question says "isn't", don't read it as "is".

I managed it (with a lot of help from the Guessometer) but was completely rubbish on a couple of others, mostly due to not reading the question properly.

A fat lot of good it'll do me - I'm going over to Scotland next Tuesday for a couple of weeks and won't be likely to have much in the way of computer access, so the one month when I might have got a Personal Best in the rankings I won't.
Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles ...
