Anyone else as dense as me ?

Just thought I would share a puzzle with everyone. This is taken from an old 11+ exam paper.

Must admit it took me nearly an hour to work it out. If I was old enough it looks like I was a fail on the exam then.


One of the following numbers is out of sequence with the others, which one is it ?

1 9 16 23 27 31 34

I forwarded the problem on to the PAB...

After a good hour of passionate debate, held over a really nice lunch paid for out of my membership fees, they couldn't come up with an answer that took account of the wider stakeholder community.

They have therefore formed a sub-committe that will produce a paper on the matter for discussion at the PAB meeting to be held in January 2009.

On the plus side, Rob says that the salmon & cucumber sandwiches were "simply divine love".
