The last problem turned out to be very easy since there was an example in the book, almost. In the example, there was an extra resistor (R3) that connected to ground that is not present in the exam. However, I figured that if I put a resistor in there anyway and it's resistance infinite, it would allow me to use the equations from the book. The Lazy Genius.

That's pretty much my entire argument cut down to the point. I will be sure to link to this the next time someone tries to bust my chops for my "dedication to laziness." I keep telling them I've found really effective ways to do things simply because I was trying to avoid the hassle. Like how if you understand the psychology of memory generation, you know you stand the best chance with least effort to study for any test if you skim the info the night before and then sleep on it...and NOT EVER try to get last minute studying right before the test. Those guys look really dedicated and serious with their books out before the final, but who made an A on the test? Definitely go with the lazy genius. They made all this technology possible!

Everyone can recognize hard work, but smart work is another story. When I rock a spreadsheet, you'd think I was working magic from the reactions I get. To be fair though, some of the clumped up spreadsheets I've seen were really close to requiring some form of witchery to repair.
