Again there is no point in posting questions without highlighting the part to be corrected!

Well the questions are indeed from the 1000 SC collection. The intention was never to hide the source of the question since many of you already know about it (https://thousandsc.blocked/).

For the underline part, I am really sorry, will take care of that in the future.

Many of the questions on the blog either dont have answers or are not properly discussed, so thought of discussing some of the questions, in which I had doubt, with you all.

Regards
Mankey
