    "Hi John, brill web site. However I really have no clue at all about Geometry Snacks which you downloaded from the book. At what level do you think this would be appropriate?

    [Transum: Thanks. I think it would be appropriate for A Level, IB students or to really challenge Higher GCSE students.]"
