Answer 11

@zimmah, I took one look. By the way, I'm SO not reading that. My method worked just as well, and was three times faster.

Answer 12

I'm not saying that your way was wrong, but it just wasn't my way.

Answer 13

Your method may have answered the question, but that's not the point of this website. This is not yahoo answers, this is a website designed for educational purposes. Just giving the answer is NOT a good way of teaching someone.

Answer 14

In fact, you even break the code of conduct by doing that.

Answer 15

Then please just go to yahoo answers if that is your way, as you obviously don't get the point of this website.

Answer 16

I did NOT give the answer. I worked it out and told him how he could answer similar problems in the future. I tried being nice, but I'm just going to leave this post because you;re annoying me.

Answer 17

You did give the answer

Answer 18

*you're, not you;re

Answer 19

nope, I didn't

Answer 20

If you think that I did something so wrong then report me.

Answer 21

tag a moderator if you want, it's fine with me.
