Domanda 1
There were a few diagrams that asked explicitly data flow across multiple systems. Between different systems, different IP values were shown. You had to know
1. How the data was being transferred between systems (pathing)
2. What some of these IP values meant (there were more than one per machine)
3. just explaining times in your life about various events or something along those lines. Times you had to be professional I believe? I don't quite remember the third question. They were very kind.
