Someone from our technical staff gave a course for about 2 weeks, with math questions, code issues, quizzes, etc.
He pointed out some 'specials' and cases...
Basicly, he told us what to find where, and how to look for it.
If you're on your own, just take some days to get used to the books and...

If you don't have a bellow, then the Kj is equal to infinity (and...
