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.

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.
