Here's a puzzle for you

WHY is that wrong?

You obviously think that you can use the score = 0 (I wouldn't because people could score 0 but you have said is acceptable). The Invigilators have the time. You are going to scan them all anyway.

I doubt your solution is going to be a facepalm moment considering your coloured paper suggestion more like point and laugh.

Which reminds me he still hasn't addressed the colour blindness issue.

That's the bit.

You could not have read the problem statement at all thoroughly.

Statutory eye tests. If you're colour blind, you can work on something else.

What about the schools who, not being able to tell the difference between the words "Year 8" and the words "Year 9", remember, misread the instructions. We have been told that they cannot be trusted to read these words correctly.

They have instructions which say "Give Red papers to Year 8, give Blue papers to Year 9".
They give the wrong colour papers to each year.

Your system is now broken, by the definitions you have given.

Good question, and thank you. If you recall candidate information is printed on the answer booklet, so if a student got a pink one rather than a blue one there are even bigger problems than them not being prioritised or prioritised incorrectly.

Now you get the idea why I get so frustrated with people. I see things very clearly. Others don't. I spend half my life waiting for others to keep up.

Spend half your life waiting for them to figure out what the hell you're trying to say, and the other half trying to understand them telling you that you've misunderstood in the first place, more like.

What else other than candidate ID is on booklet that is machine readable? Or what additional information other than candidate ID and score is in the system once scanned?

I have already made a suggestion to separate year 8. But you have put your solution forward anyway. You obviously failed to listen to your team =fail.

But you know who should have taken the test in year 9 from your candidate list, you have all the forms you can scan and comparing the two should get you a list of those missing.

You want to do this without the schools being a competent part so you have to do it all outside the schools so the only thing you have are the forms & the candidate list. So you have to scan all the year 9 forms you have,

you instruct the invigilators to ask the pupils to check their names and put their hand up just as they did in exams 30 years ago.

Your suggestion was wrong.

Second paragraph is the solution, not the problem. They currently don't scan forms for absentees. The solution is to get them to do this. This is why I asked you to go back and re-read the problem.
