For Hole's students in seminar 4 and 5: a set of all the tentative solutions made by students to the seminars is now available. Pick up the set in the reception in the 12th floor, make copies, and return the originals to the 12th floor. NB! The tentative solutions may have errors and should only be read together with notes from the seminars themselves. Good luck with the exam!"
