      We are more than willing to help those that are stuck: but that doesn't mean that we are here to do it all for you! We can't do all the work, you are either getting paid for this, or it's part of your grades and it wouldn't be at all fair for us to do it all for you. So just posting your exam question and hoping we'll just give you a good grade is not going to work ...

        Maybe I'm getting too suspicious, but this smells a bit like a spam setup to me... :~

          Could be, but he's got no history, so I'll hold off on kicking him. I think it's just another lazy student, but I could be wrong again!

            Hi, I'm not a student. I'm asking this question as a part of some research that I'm doing at my end.

              Yes, they are all challenges. Do you have a specific technical question?
