Re: Open-Ended Questions - by Darby

Well, as Darby pointed out for us, there is nothing to fear here.
Please keep that in mind as you walk in the center.

You will receive 4 questions - do not miss more than one, and then
begin your configuration section. Your strategy for the configuration
section can be identical in form as it was prior to the introduction
of the Core Knowledge section.

I just realized I have typed the words Core Knowledge about 23,452
times in the last month. :-)
