L01 SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
Label: No AI
Time: about 10 minutes. Set a timer. Stop when it rings.
This is not graded and nobody sees it. It tells you where you are starting,
so you know which parts of the course to slow down on.
Answer honestly. A low answer is useful information, not a bad result.
Save this file with your answers in your course folder. You will look at it
again at the end of the course.

on Saturday?" The assistant answers, "Bake 120 loaves." The owner bakes 120.
On Saturday they sell 64 and throw the rest away.

    owner should have told the assistant or checked first.

My answer:
