Many folks mention in the assignment log how very many attempts they've made at 4b. So what are the records for how few and how many times it has taken to get an 'OK ' on 4b?

Mmmm, how few? I'll have to research that one. I think the most attempts on Say was about 17 or so.

(later)
It seems that the minimum on Say so far is 5 tries. And the maximum was 21 attempts. He was a very persistant student and eventually his persistance paid off. Say-a and Say-b used to be all one assignment so to keep the statistics valid, we need to count attempts on both parts.
