@Dancer_on_data Why did you mark your answer as the correct answer?

@Dancer_on_data You got there all by yourself? That's awesome, guess you won't need help in the future either if you can answer your own questions 🙂

 

Besides the sarcasm...it's considerate to acknowledge that people actually spent time helping you to solve your problem. No one is really after the points here, they really are trying to help.

Hi @Reeza, I see your points. I have to admit there is a huge misunderstanding on why I marked it as solution between you and me.
I thought marking it as solution will allow everyone else to know the answer to my question has been found, therefore it could be of help to others who might have similar questions to mine in future and they can just copy the logic to his or her problems. I have never thought or tried to take away the credits from others. I am more interested in the form of active inquiry with others than in feeling good about myself for figuring out something. I am a firm believer in this form of active inquiry, which I think helps me free my mind from the bondage of false opinions.

In addition, I think my answer to your question also might have caused some confusion. My true intent is to say I got the right logic through others' contributions to my question. If you interpreted my answer to your question differently, I apologize for my less thoughtful response.

Last but not the least, I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped me in solving the problem!

Good to see it is now solved!

 

What I like about this post is that it was solved with the collaborative effort of the OP and 3 experts. Everyone contributed to the successful solution. Too bad you can't share recognition in these cases.
