Agreed.Nice suggestion.To reach a consensus, we shall go for a poll .then at the of the poll results we shall amend it!Is that ok with u?
It is ok...but just think brother.....if you post all 256 in the same post and if there are few people who have doubt regarding question 10 , few people regarding question 13 and so on.....it will be difficult finding all the replies for a particular question.
It will be a big mess. Thats why I suggested.
Even, I try to post each question in a different post, even in case I have 4-5 to share. This reduces traffic and confusion of mixing the ans.

I think BTG is the only forum where people bring a new post for each question for the same reason.

If you got to other public forums like "pagalguy" , "urch.com", "Gmat club" or even in "manhhatan forum" they post question one after another. Answers are also random ex : 1)IMO A , 12) IMO C etc....which becomes a confusion and we need to roll on pages over pages to replies. Its becomes a big wastage of time.

What do you think?

Of-course that would be wonderful...make the question numbers as _01 , _02, etc...013 etc.
