Questions

Riffle says follow the pattern. Do we have to?

I’m pretty sure that it says there are at least two options: You can follow the pattern or you can do something tricky with filter and map.

As long as it runs and does not make Sam cringe or cry, it should be fine.

Tell us about the final

Consist of four written questions. “Really hard quiz”

Four correct (or mostly correct): A. Three correct (or mostly correct): B.
