Eric,
I'm beginning to enjoy this. I'm sure we'll sort this out in no
time if we proceed methodically. Imagine you are a teacher and I am your
student. This is a quiz. I have to take it and you need to explain to me
the problem you want me to solve. If you don't explain it clearly, I
will not know what I have to do and cannot do the quiz. If you answer my
questions above, your description of the problem will be clear and I can
take the quiz. Okay?
Frederic
