My gut reaction, which was to do the top ones, would've been wrong though! Gah, I can never sit and think when I'm working on these things, its alwasy like 'go, go, go, don't stop' and I end up making assumptions like I did.

Simplifying is probably the best way to solve ones with higher numbers though, I always try to reduce the higher number ones into lower number patterns that I recognize and knw easily.
