Important Hint


We highly recommend you type your answer using any word processor application. Please make sure you save your work as you go along. When you are done, CUT and PASTE your answer into the empty box. That way, if for any reason you loose your internet connection in the middle of typing your answer, you won’t lose all the work you have done up to that point.
