I get a C as well.
My approach was pretty much same as Cramya. I must proudly admit that I learnt this technique from Cramya!!!... So thanks to you maan.
On Ronnie's posts. He seems very cryptic in his explanations.
It does not make much sense to just do a "IMO x" replies or provide a cryptic explanation. His reasoning could be one of these or maybe different:
1. Just rack up the post count so that he would get some "grade" like "Gmat destroyer or Gmat titan", and posting "IMO x" is the fastest way to do that. If this is true, then it is one lame way to achieve it.
2. Maybe he does not want to share his awesome tricks to solve some of them faster/better; instead, on the prowl to find better tricks. I agree that we are all feeding off each other by sharing out tricks and methods, sharing the procedure/trick will solidify the method.
"The more you share knowledge the more you learn"
If Ronnie's intentions are less than honest, then my sincere request is pls dont post your replies at all.
Ronnie, pls consider this as a friendly request.
