Can you answer these Cambridge entrance exam questions?

Cambridge University is reinstating its written exams 30 years after it was dropped following accusations that it favored the better-off.  This move has prompted new concerns that it will discriminate against state school pupils less likely to benefit from expensive coaching than pupils of fee-paying schools.


A spokesman for the University said many of the questions were designed to find out how students approached complex issues, and would help the university select those with the skills to cope with demanding courses.

Even if you pass the written test, you still have to make it through the notoriously difficult interview.
