Are we allowed to work in pairs?

And can we hand in our answers whenever we find one, must they be submitted all together?

To answer Mel's questions:
Are we allowed to work in pairs?

Sure, as long as you're happy with only 1/2 a giraffe pic, or 1/2 a bedbug, whichever applies in the end. :yes:

And can we hand in our answers whenever we find one, must they be submitted all together?

Sure, answer them at any point in any order, but BEFORE I post the answer. 0- 0'

Care to answer this first one before I post (probably late tonight or first thing AM) ? \O
