1. Ask an actual question. A question is a series of words that form a sentence where it is appropriate to append a question mark,
(i.e., one of these things: "?") to the end of the sentence.

Please look up the definition if you are still unclear on the concept.

On this website, such a question should relate to some area of mathematics.

2. If you post a problem for which you want a solution, make sure you make it clear what it is about the problem that is giving you difficulty.

3. Show all of the work, successful or not, done or attempted in the solution of the problem. In other words, demonstrate that you are trying to learn something about mathematics as opposed to just trying to get someone else to do your thinking for you.

4. If following these instructions is too much work for you, then helping you is too much work for us.
