Re: What do you think - OEQ?

You are on the right track here for sure. In fact, I have had passing
students actually elaborate down two different paths because the Cisco
question was so vague. For example, their answer looked something like
this - "If you meant A with your question, the answer is B. But if you
meant C with your question, the answer is D." :-)

What you cannot do is write a novel. They have made it clear that they
will not even bother to read it.

Also, when elaborating, be very sure you are truly technically
accurate. I notice in your example below you have 32769*MAC. It should
be 32768 + MAC. :-)

We certainly do not want to inadvertently give the proctor another
reason to doubt our expertise!

Keep up the great work Molomo!
