     that your problem is in NP, a description of a construction mapping

(4)  When mixing juice from frozen concentrate, stir thoroughly BEFORE adding
     water.  Then stir again after adding just a bit of water, and then add

(5)  When riding through an intersection on your bicycle, you should stick to
     the curb if you are going to turn right, ride just left of the leftmost

over and striking them while turning.

Re # (12): I keep my hand-vacuum unplugged, so that the batteries will
drain properly, before recharging. Leaving it plugged in diminishes
