 Here are the results of the DADA-Exam! Those who did respond all did 
extremely well. Though I'm not sure if my "no-cheating"- Charm worked 
too well. I'm sure some people did use the books for help, but I can't 
prove it.
Most people did say it was too long, ( Sorry <g>)so I will take out my 
favourite butcher's knife and chop it into more convenient pieces. It 
will then be copied to the contest- mailbox, where it may be used 
again in a couple of months.
