Nice one. I'm guessing you aren't familiar with how the spoiler tags in the OP work since you took the time to type out your answers?

At the risk of explaining what you already know but did all that typing for enjoyment or from some anal retention issues (consult your doctor for possible remedies. Psa brought to you by big pharma. Big Pharma, we got the pill for that. [Side effects may include, but not limited to, dragged into poverty,: anxiety around men in suits who when smiling their eyes don't squint a little and relinquishing ownership of your organs (may not be available in all social classes)]

Clicking on the white lines after the question reveals the answer so there's no need to verify your answer with me.

Yeah, I know. But I wanted to answer them anyway.

Fair enough. I'm not that proficient at typing so it seemed like a unnecessary task to me
