Kind of had fun :) Just need to study for the exam #m161 (hr 21) done with the 3.1s, starting 3.2 #m161 (hr 18) keep forgetting to update this. Finished 3.1A yesterday and on to 3.1B. #m161 (hr 23) trying the activities for 3.4 because i got stuck on 3.4C. I realized later that I was asking the wrong question.
