Circle has 1 continous 'side', but some may also try argue it has 360 as it turns 360 degrees.

A circle does only have one side; the width being zero makes it conceptually one sided. And as a degre is just a measurement it's not really true to say it has 360 sides as a true circle has an infinite number of increments, so it does perhaps have infinite sides?

A circle has indeed got NO SIDES. This is because the definition of a side is a flat or lateral surface bounding an object. Since a circle has no flat bits, it therefore has no sides.

Use the Amazon.co.uk link flashing up abope these posts and search their site using the phrase "Kogan Page". They are a publisher of all sorts of "Pass the ......... test" books. Might be something of some help.

If you fail the test :oops: , do you get to try again & again and yet again (like a driving theory test), or are you blacklisted after a failed attempt? If so, I'm gonna be scared shitless before the test :( . Just going to need plenty of alcohol :drinking: James.

I was scared shitless 2 :oops: . One of the guys takin the test with me asked if I was alright cos I looked very nervous. I got in sat down saw the questions and laffed in my head! I passed with ease. You must keep concentration but keep at a fast pace. If u struggle with a question move straight on. If u r betta at one section than another use your spare time to fill in the ones u missed. Last but not least keep your kool. Im not sure of the pass rate on my day but i was left in the exam room in a group of 3 afta every1 else had been called out to be briefed on their performance and we were told we'd all past. But some others did who wa interviewed individually. Just keep your cool and you shouldnt have a problem 8)
