Kudos (?): 4 (1), given: 1

It's very useful. Thank Ayrish

To bb: I think Ayrish is doing right. Many people are doing 1000SC (also CR) but our forum is very big, it's really hard when we post the question or find the answer. If they're collected, they will be strong enough for us.

Could you stick it and prevent sb from writing unneeded words (such as it's perfect, thank you...), because we do not waste time to follow and add more it logically.

The questions are quite good but not sure if the answers provided in the link align to these questions. I will try to build a simple answer sheet (no explanation) as I go along if there isn't one handy.
