Here's a puzzle for you

[Bunk]

The method for mapping exists. This is a given. The systems cannot change. The problem is knowing why a paper was not scanned. Was it missed? Or did they not attend?

Not quite the problem we had to solve was it?

Well, yes it is.

If you scan all of the documents then there is only one reason a document was not scanned. Ie it is missing and they need to find it. So that's exactly the problem you had to solve.

None of you can be this thick. I call a wind up.

This is like one of those interview questions where a self-important person keeps drip-feeding you information to make themselves seem clever.

"Oh, but I didn't tell you there's a powercut"
"You can't do that, she's in a wheelchair"
"What if it's during an eclipse?"

All the correct information was given up front. A few of the feral and feckless went on a merry litte jaunt around barcodes and linking and other irrelevances, but we got there in the end.

"but what if they're colour-blind?"

hit it on the head.

Sorry Suity not your best workshop.

But clearly, you can be.

The only puzzle in this thread is why people have bothered replying....

[evilagent]

have you found an answer?
I read the first 2 pages, then skipped to last 2.

has anyone suggested different sizes of paper?
solves the colour-blind problem.

solves the colour-blind problem.

System change - need to recalibrate the scanners, and no changes are allowed.

The answer is to ignore the colour-blind problem, rely on teachers (who you can't rely on to give the classes the right paper) and individual paper to each pupil correctly, and scan everything (ignoring the idea that people might genuinely get 0, or choose not to answer any questions).

How come no-one other than suity can see this simple solution
