not beer, more coffee and more problems! 8) I may be seeing the light at end of the tunnel but there will most likely be a MC10 and 11.

Numbers refer to problems I got wrong or need to study more. More of a record tracking than interesting content of others to read. At the end of the circle I will print it up and go through all the problems listed before proceeding to MC 10. My percentages have increased but one can score 80% and still get 1/2 of the problems partially wrong in Ct-art. So I forsee more circles ahead on Level 20 before I feel that I really know these problems. Thanks to everyone for checking in with comments. Off on vacation next week without computer/ct-art
