| | Would I get sued if... I decided to do all the math problems in a recent issued math book, make a solutions manual for all the even answers with full explanations (assuming all answers are right and since a lot of books have the solutions manuals for the odd problems), and give it out for free to the masses? |

CB | And I'm sure that could be arranged. The only things requiring quoting are the title of the textbook and the question numbers (the questions themselves do not require quoting).
