Need help find common help topics!

I am working on a tutorial, and for the last section, I need to find all the most common mistakes, questions, issues, etc. that come up on this or the submission board. So instead of trying to think them up all by myself, thus missing a great number of items, I am asking you. Doesn't that make you feel special? So go ahead and post all the common mistakes, questions, issues, etc. that you can thinks of, so that you may not have to answer those questions or fix those mistakes or explain those issues [as much] in the future. I need responses quickly, before the grade 10s start programming and fill the boards with the same common mistakes, questions, issues, etc. over and over again.

Hehe, special. I have an idea - make it a Turing FAQ instead of tutorial, because there are a lot of smaller common errors than large.

I can think of just one of these smaller errors at the moment - Flashy screens (not using View.Update properly).

funny, I have 401 posts and am still a hacker, while timmytheturtle has 300-something posts and is a kickass hacker. Hmm, this bears investigating...

anyways, Hurray! The new thread is already returning more results than my request in the tutorial thread!

Hurray!

And maybe his bits and/or stars make up for the lack of posts?
I'm really not too sure how it works.

See, that's the thing. We already have a FAQ on this board, however those people that it most applies to are the least likely to see it. It's the sad way of things, and it applies to the rules as well.
