My students,

A student writes, and in fact puts ***** where is name is to be helpful,
which does indeed save me having to do it:

Of course we are busy, but we are all busy.  Second, how can I have a great
weekend when I have a final exam to prepare?  Third, the solution sheet to
Problem set 6 will be posted on the web page tomorrow (Monday).

Good luck on the final exam.
