This mostly looks like it was created with chatgpt or something like
that, please do not send us things like that.

Again, work with your professor at school who has assigned you this task
to complete it, don't force us to do the work for you :)

If we get a chance, we'll look at it, but note it's way down the
priority list for most of us.
