    1. Good job sharing your drawings, lists and math.

      The image for your math is a little blurry so I can't quite pick up all the detail. What kind of work did you do with Algebra? I'd like to know about that.

      I appreciate your integrity in pointing out that that was the 2nd try for your accuracy Achievement.

      How would you improve your design if we competed again?
