Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Wash your silver. Mix liver sulfur patina into water. Dip your silver into the mixture and check the color. Continue to dip and check until you reach your desired color. Mix baking soda into water to create a neutralizing bath. Dip your piece into the neutralizing bath. Rub baking soda onto the high points of the silver.

Answer: Mix liquid detergent and a few drops of ammonia into a bowl of hot water. Immerse your silver and scrub away any dirt, oil, or residue that may be on the item. Use a soft bristle brush, such as a toothbrush, to work in the cleaning solution. If you don’t have ammonia, you can still wash your item with just liquid detergent. Add two cups (.5 liters) of water to a large bowl or container. Add ¼ teaspoon (1.25 milliliters) of patina gel to the water. Stir until the mixture is a pale yellow.  A darker yellow solution will work faster, but a quick finish will not be as strong. It’s better to allow your piece to treat for longer in a weaker solution.  You can purchase liver sulfur patina gel at craft supply stores or through online retailers. Don’t immerse your item. Instead, dip the piece into the solution then pull it out after a few seconds. The patina gel will work quickly. After you dip, check the color to see if it is your preferred finish. Wear rubber gloves while you dip the silver to protect your skin. You may need to dip the piece several times to reach your preferred shade, but don’t be tempted to rush the process by immersing it because a rushed process can result in an uneven or damaged finish. Only leave it in the solution for a few seconds at a time. Additionally, allowing the item to oxidize for too long can cause pitting. Your neutralizing bath should contain water and a small amount of baking soda. Sprinkle a few pinches of baking soda over the water, and then stir it. You don’t need much baking soda to create your solution. You need to neutralize the patina gel or it will continue to darken your item even after you have removed it from the solution. The baking soda in your neutralizing bath will deactivate the sulfur, stopping the oxidation process. Dip the piece for a few seconds, then remove it to check the finish. Don’t allow your items to soak, as this could remove the finish you just added. If you want your piece to look natural, remove the finish from the high spots. Rub a small amount of baking soda onto the raised areas of your piece to restore the polish to those areas. This will make your antique finish look more natural. If you want a more consistent color or are happy with the look of your piece, you can skip this step.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Learn what binary means. Add one by changing the last 0 into a 1. Write another digit if all the numbers are one. Use these rules to count to five. Count to six. Count to ten. Notice when new digits get added. Practice with higher numbers.

Answer: Our normal counting system is called decimal, or "base ten." We have ten different symbols for writing numbers, ranging from 0 to 9. Binary is a "base two" system, using only the symbols 0 and 1. If a binary number ends in 0, you can count one higher by changing this to a 1. We can use this to count the first two numbers just as you would expect:  0 = zero 1 = one For higher numbers, you can ignore the earlier digits of the number. 1010 + 1 = 1011. Now we have "1" for one, but we've already run out of symbols! In order to count to two, we need to write another digit. Add a "1" to the front of the number, and "reset" all the other digits to 0.  0 = zero 1 = one 10 = two This is the same rule we use in decimal when we run out of symbols (9 + 1 = 10). It just happens a lot more often in binary because we run out of symbols sooner. These rules will get you as far as the number five. See if you can do it yourself, then check your work:  0 = zero 1 = one 10 = two 11 = three 100 = four 101 = five Now we need to solve five + one in decimal, or 101 + 1. The key here is to ignore the first digit. Just add the 1 + 1 at the end to get 10. (Remember, this is how you write "two".) Now restore the first digit and you get: 110 = six There are no new rules you need to learn. Try it yourself, then check your work with this list:  110 = six 111 = seven 1000 = eight 1001 = nine 1010 = ten Do you see that ten (1010) doesn't look like a "special" number in binary? Eight (1000) is much more important now, because it equals 2 x 2 x 2. Keep multiplying by two to find other important numbers like sixteen (10000) and thirty-two (100000). Now you know everything you need to count in binary. If you're ever confused about what comes next, just work out what happens to the last digits. Here are a few examples to help you out:  twelve plus one = 1100 + 1 = 1101 (0 + 1 = 1, and the other digits stay the same.) fifteen plus one = 1111 + 1 = 10000 = sixteen (We've run out of symbols, so we reset to 0 and write a 1 at the start.) forty-five plus one = 101101 + 1 = 101110 = forty-six (We know 01 + 1 = 10, and the other digits stay the same.)


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Have the player to the left of the dealer play the first card. Have the player to the left of the first player play a card. Continue play to the left until everyone has played a card. Let the winner of the trick lead the next trick.

Answer: They can play any card they want. They should lay the card face up in the center of the table where everyone else can see it. The suit they play will be the leading suit for the trick. The second player must follow suit by playing a card in the same suit as the first card played. If the second player doesn’t have a card in the leading suit, they can play a card in the trump suit. If they don’t have a card in the leading suit or trump suit, they can play any card in their hand. For example, if the first player played a yellow 9, the second player would need to play a yellow card in their hand. If they didn’t have a yellow card, but they had a blue card and blue is the trump suit, they could play a blue card. If they didn’t have a yellow or blue card, they could play a card in one of the other suits. Once everyone has played, determine who wins the trick. The winner of the trick is whoever played the highest card in the leading suit. The exception is if someone played a card in the trump suit. Trump cards always win. If multiple trump cards were played, whoever played the highest trump card wins the trick.  14 is the highest card and ace is the lowest. The winner of the trick collects all the cards in the middle and wins all the points played. Keep the tricks you win next to you so you can count them at the end of the game. The winner of the previous trick plays any card in their hand. Play then continues to the left. Continue playing tricks until all of the cards in everyone’s hands have been played.


Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Use this section if your series is a list of proper names. Complete your list of names using lowercase letters. Click on the cell to the right of the first name that is listed. Type the same name as the cell in A1, but include proper capitalization of first and last names. Go to the “Data” menu and select “Flash Fill. Delete the column with the lowercase names.

Answer:
It will need to be written in Excel in the lowercase to use this method. The flash fill function can read and change names so that the first letter of the first and last name is capitalized. Enter them in a single column. Leave a blank column to the right of the list of names. If you don’t currently have a blank column to the right of your list of names, right click on the lettered column above your list of names. Select “Insert” and a new empty column will appear to the right. For example, if your first lowercase name were in cell A1, you would go to cell B1. For example, if the first cell says “joe biggins,” type “Joe Biggins” in the cell to the right. Press “Enter.” ” It will learn the pattern and make a similar change in the data series. You can also use the short cut code, “Control” and the letter “E” to activate Flash Fill. To avoid duplication, click on the top of the original lowercase column. Right click and press “delete” to get rid of it and leave the list with proper cases. Make sure Flash Fill has worked on your whole list before deleting.
