    1. Dear Jose,

      FYI, no other links are attached.

      I suggested that you gave it another try just in case you didn't do it conscientiously and carefully enough.

      I am happy you found the activity 'really CHALLENGING'!

      ;-)

      Thanks for taking good advantage of this our blog

      Cheers!
