Hi,
why try to use a special name ? Tell them to do it. They will use a special

I am in the middle of organising my slides and i'm wondering what 'codes'
other people use to label their slides? I will be keeping them in those

I plan to keep a database on my computer so i can reference which codes goes

Shouldn't that be the "challengee" that loses a turn?
