All exercises and all stories worked through in the course, from Hjort-Stoltenberg "Statistical Inference: 600 Exercises, 100 Stories" (preliminary version, 2025). The chapters are "only" 7 and 14, and we've been though perhaps 12 stories. You may backtrack through all messages given, from August to late November, to check these.?
