Questions Norizo Cup?

[Randomitsuki]

Hi,

lack of language skills, and inability to understand Babelfish's cryptic translations I am once again failing to understand the questions for Norizo Cup.

Could someone please translate them?

Thanks in advance.

[Randomitsuki]

OK, I don't want to appear lazy. Therefore I have listed the questions as far as I understood them (all questions that need clarifications are written in red, and provided in Japanese and Babelfishian language).

Hope that somebody will fill the gaps!

No, there are many, many more ways to get that, for example: oxxooxoxoxxoxox

I appreciate your supplementary explanation.

Although I also prepared supplementary explanation, it was just going to talk still more puzzling.

Have you noticed that I am making your translation(in 2005.5 Nori-C) the model?

I was saved very much by it, and was beneficial for study English.

Thank you very much.
