Since I'm sure that the mentors will call you out on this, you might want to show your attempted solution/work.
 
The steps will help but ideally I just need the exact answer.

Lol yeaaahh...I think you're missing the point. The point isn't what you need, it's establishing a line of communication that's more productive and not cheating. The mentors don't want you to do it, they require it.
