So either someone spoonfeeds the technique to you, or you are brainless. Although I can understand that finding innovative solutions may need more time, I really dislike when people act like robots.

Anyway thanks for sharing, the questions are interesting.

Some of the questions asked for proof. In order to prove something you use axioms. If the necessary axioms had never been taught, how is a student supposed to know how to prove something?
