You can click on the pairs to hide them. When you have clicked on all the pairs the three numbers with no partner will remain.

Comment recorded on the 26 March 'Starter of the Day' page by Julie Reakes, The English College, Dubai:

"It's great to have a starter that's timed and focuses the attention of everyone fully. I told them in advance I would do 10 then record their percentages."
