Please don't shout - and show some effort.

I have found the same article 2 days ago...
and I'm not shouting...
What effort do you want me to show anyway there you had the
question it needs to be answered...
This question was easy i just googled it ...
The question that no one could answer was the oil/water one
and i gave my effort on it and no one did it...
So don't accuse me of shouting... *:mad:
 
What's the point of this thread? Is there a problem you are stuck on? If so, show what you've done and where you are stuck.
