  17. BVK,


    Do not put in answers if you do not have the annotations. If you do put in an answer without the annotation say so and do not exceed your quota of 3 after that. In todays CW you have given answers for 1D and 7d without the annotation and after that you have again give answers for 17D and 22A which becomes 4 answers
