>> "Building
>> block" 401-404 schedules which you voted on.
>>
>> What I have done in this note is given you 401, 402 and 404 as a start. 
>> The
>> exercise challenge is to design an Advanced(403) schedule that builds up
>> from 402 and also bridges the gap to 404.

>> I thought that this would be more fun and more creative than "hacking" at
