Hi Clive,

Thank you for your helpful answers. Yes, this is related to a job application. I'm still thinking of examples to support this claim.
CliveTo me, these answers seem slightly arrogant. Be sure that you understamd the problem properly before you say such a thing.
This is just a random example.

Also, thank you for sharing your thoughts
