OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Can you show me how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure, one moment.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Okay, :]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find your answer, you have to distribute, there is none other to able to distribute than d. I will find more complex information if this doesn't work.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Okay, thanks. :]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, you're sure it's not x+8?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Yes, I'm sure. I used it last time and it was wrong. Don't worry, I already submitted and D was right. :)
