[Year 12 IPM] flash tutorial problem

[Andrew Grimshaw]

thx very much TJ

one of my students came up with a similar solution - they are hard to keep 
up with!

I have found that learning along with the kids is a fantastic way to teach. 
It's a bit slower but the learning and problem solving skills the kids pick 
up are invaluable. They help each other (and me) as much as I help them. It 
literally warms my heart!
