I am not going to ask questions.

I am going to make a statement.

I just answered to your post yesterday in

that (I am repeating) 

    There is NO enough info to answer the question.


    Indeed, we have ZERO information regarding C.


    It is strange from your side to submit such a nonsense.

I state that this my answer is correct.

With all consequences that follow from this statement.


I hope other tutors will/can confirm that I was right then and I am right now.


What I do not understand is this: did you read my answer and do you understand the meaning of my words .

Sorry.


------------------
Comment from student: i did. and that is the question. if you see this question again, please don't respond, so i can clarify with other tutors.
------------------


My response:   OK, I got it.

                       I will be silent next time.
