Good luck!
A word of advance warning about Week 6. I will be away on vacation from Sunday, August 6, until Friday, August 11, so I will not be able to issue any clarifications during that time. I’ll try to post the questions for Week 6 early on August 5. Hopefully, none of them will be ambiguous, but if anyone wants clarifications, try to look at the questions early and submit your requests for clarifications as quickly as you can.
