Yes; but to collect with what purpose and motivation?

You'll have to excuse the reluctance to contribute to your test. We know 
nothing about who you are and what you're doing. Your combination of 
total confidence and ignorance, however, smells suspiciously of 
"computer science student"... and this challenge seems not entirely 
unlikely to translate as "do my homework for me".

But I'm saying that only as explanation, not as a challenge or 
accusation. I really don't care. I have no time, motivation, nor 
inclination to accept your time-wasting "challenge"; and I suspect most 
others feel the same.

Perhaps, instead, YOU could invest the time to complete your example, 
and see whether anyone feels inclined to offer constructive criticism?
