The Crystal Ball.

I know this was originally meant for Carine, as she requested for it, but if it helps anyone, hey.

NOTE: Mr. Sara INSISTS that these are only his ASSUMPTIONS and STRONGLY ADVISES AGAINST relying solely upon these said assumptions.


So don't sue our asses if they're not entirely accurate. Pretty please. The man's not omniscient you know.

Why then is he providing us with these "assumptions"?

So that hopefully, by some miracle of God, he can help idiots like me pass. =)

Oh and he was very confusing, so what I wrote down may be a tad confusing too... But I tried to make it as word-for-word as possible.

Well, that's all there is to it. Hope this helps. If it doesn't, don't come back and yell obscenities at me and tell me that my daughters will be born with three bottoms. Or elsewise.

Best of luck to all fellow exam-sitters. :)

Toodles~
