Gentle reminder to all moderators, experts, tutors, and everyone else who is ineligible for the prizes: please refrain from posting in the competition questions, even after the Official Answers (OAs) are revealed. Each post initiates the allocation of points to teams, and moderators/experts should not participate in point scoring. You are all welcome to contribute posts after the competition concludes and the winners are declared, which will be after July 15. Thank you all for your cooperation!

Hi

Just to be sure when I click the option, answer is getting submitted. Because I am not suer if my answer is submitted. And we have to drop our explanation in the reply of the question thread.
