I am interviewing for a new job and they made me take a timed cognitive test, which has nothing to do with the actual job duties which is drafting and reviewing contracts that has nothing to do with anything technical. I got this one wrong and I still do not understand the question. Am I just dumb? I don't know what I am missing. There is a rectangle on the cube but that was the correct answer? Is it the shadow angle?

I am traveling to the UK in July and will be there 2 weeks. I am flying into Heathrow and flying out of Edinburgh. My plan is to spend a few days in London, then travel up to Kennacraig to take the ferry over to Isle of Islay and spend a few days there. I am planning on breaking up that travel with an overnight along the way. Then traveling across Scotland to St. Andrews, a few days there and then fly out of Edinburgh.

For context, I lived in St. Andrews for 4 years and then London for another year before coming back to the US although that was over a decade ago, but I do have some understanding of what I am getting into.

I definitely do not want to have a car or be driving anywhere in London. My question is should I rent a car for the trip up to Islay? If I did I would also drive it on my way to St. Andrews but return it in Edinburgh on the way and just take the train to Leuchars and then get either a bus or taxi to St. Andrews. If I did do that what would be a good place to rent a car from? Would I need to go back to Heathrow to get a car?

Also, I grew up driving manuals and actually prefer them. My current car is my first automatic but that is because its really hard to find a manual anymore in the US, they just don't make them for the US market. But I do worry if it would be hard to transition to using a manual on the opposite side that I am used to.

Or can I just use trains/taxis/public transport for this whole trip?

Thank you for an help!
