Listen, my friend, it's true that if you sit back and wait, somebody will eventually come along and give you the answer because they think they're being helpful. But that won't help you with the next question, and it won't help with the test. Instead, if you work it out yourself (with our help), you'll learn a lot more. Copying homework, whether from a friend or from the Internet, is a complete waste of time.
