Hi,

I would like to ask a simple question..

Is the contribution of the members in this forum limited only to those who want really to know the answers of their question.. ?
because I want to participate and give questions in order to challenge the other members and create a competition in the forums not because I don't know the answers.

Thanks

You may certainly present challenges to the membership here; just clearly explain that they are challenges and not, e.g., homework problems.
