-
-1. Given the list primes, ``primes = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23,
-   29]``, How do you obtain the last 4 primes?
-
-   Answer: primes[-4:]
-
-#. Given the list primes, ``primes = [2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23,
-   29]``, What is the output of ``primes[::5]``?
-
-   Answer: ``[2, 13]``
-   
-#. Given a list, p, of unknown length, obtain the first 3 (or all, if
-   there are fewer) characters of it. 
-
-   Answer: p[:3]

-
-   Answer: True
-   
-#. ``reversed`` function reverses a list in-place. True or False?
-

-
-#. Given the list ``p = [1, 2, 3]``. p[4] produces an IndexError. True
-   or False?
-
-   Answer: True
-

-Larger Questions
-----------------
-
-.. A minimum of 2 questions here (along with answers)
-
-#. Given a list p. Append it's reverse to itself. 
-
-   Answer::
-
-      p = p + reversed(p)
-
-
-#. Marks is a list containing the roll numbers of students followed by
-   marks. [This is not a recommended way to hold the marks details,
-   but the teacher knows only so much Python!] Now she wants to get
-   the average of the marks. Help her do it. 
-
-   Answer::
-
-     marks = [1, 9, 2, 8, 3, 3, 4, 10, 5, 2]
-     average = sum(marks[1::2])/len(marks[1::2])
