Note: When you enter an incorrect answer (not that you ever will), it's nothing to worry about. I'll always come back to the question later and give you a do-over. You'll really, really learn when you try, try again. And sometimes the third time's the charm.
If a question is too easy for you to bother with, you always have the option to skip it, with credit. Boredom is not part of the curriculum here.
