I was only joking @Mi-Amigo I'm sure you didn't do it on purpose. I just really struggled with this one but that's more a shortfall of my knowledge rather than the questions fault. I do look forward to the answers though, because it can be just as fun learning the answers compared to just knowing them. 😀
