teaching is about getting students to ask the right questions, and possibly pointing them to the proper Wikipedia article
It's quite a disappoitment that the education degrades to 'study to pass a test' as oppose to 'study to learn'. I bet there are kids out there who could get amazing SAT (and such standardized tests) scores, and yet not really know much, just how to fill out the 'correct' bubbles.

As0k, it's great that you fixed the problem on your own. that's the best way to learn.
the lesson you can take from this, then, is if in the future you have a problem, take a little time to try and solve it yourself before posting it here or elsewhere.
you'll find that you'll be able to figure out a lot of your probs on your own, and you'll learn faster that way.
