Are you good enough to attempt the challenge? Try the following question from the 2010 paper:

There are 120 different arrangements of the five letters in the word ANGLE. If all 120 are listed in alphabetical order starting with AEGLN and finishing with NLGEA, which position in the list does ANGLE occupy?

Good luck!
