@greenlegodude57:  It's not our goal to see who can come up with the answer first, and it's definitely not OK for you to provide answers with no involvement on the part of the person asking the question.  If you want to help, please look at the questions I asked and discuss them with @Rainbow_Cat_Pasta, so that she will have a better idea of what to do here.  It's your job to guide her towards finding her own answers.
