Dear Yasmine,

Many thanks for your note. You see, Alan writes all these interesting tests, Slava does all the programming and my job is it to post the tests online. I've made a mistake with the question you are referring to — now the correct answer is «as her very last chance to keep her job Mary had to be at least time for at least one day».
By the way: Could it be that you study at Concordia?
