Don’t you think posting photos regarding your identification would make it easier to understand?

Yes, you may be new to the STEM games. As @GN sir said earlier, it is a game, so you need to keep replying to messages till you reach a certain level then you can upload photos and videos (upto a certain size).

Till then, keep posting!!! :grinning:
