  • Another participant requests the original poster to show their work to facilitate checking and assistance.
  • A participant expresses uncertainty about how to approach the problems and indicates a lack of progress.
  • Another participant reiterates the need for clarity on the original poster's situation, questioning if they were not receiving adequate instruction elsewhere.
