If you haven't already, please read the rules posted at viewtopic.php?p=25928#25928, especially the part about answering right away.

I am very sorry about the size of the images, I don't know how to resize them on this bored. Also, I suspect that when you reply, the source for the images may be visible to you, which may give away the answer. So I'm trusting y'all to not look there (i.e. read the questions, come up with your answers, then reply and type them). Sorry for the inconvenience.
