Don't hijack threads. I've pruned your post and stuck it here in its own, new thread. Also, while LQ is at times quite flexible when it comes to providing assistance with homework-type questions, what you've got here is abusive IMO. You basically dropped a list of questions and left it up to the LQ community to handle everything for you. That's not how things work here. I ask you to re-post, this time providing details about what specific approaches you've tried so far, and where you ran into trouble. While the LQ community can surely give you a hand, we will NOT do your homework for you. Thread closed.
