Very, very nice! One quick suggestion: could you change the order of exercise A slightly so that it's in ascending order of difficulty? Judging from the other comments on this page, #2 and #5 are the most vague (and thus more difficult) and #7 was very easy.

Minor quibbles aside, I highly approve of this endeavor--well done!

Thank you!

The reason why #2 appeared so high on the list was because I wanted a case where the statement really didn't constrain expectations much to appear early in the list. As for #7 - yeah, you got me there. When I revise it, I will be sure to move that up.
