Such papers see too difficult at first glance but once you start writing, everything is alright. The best way is to start from attempting the easiest question. I finished off the whole paper in 2 hours.

A paper demanding the background knowledge, wisdom and concrete analysis is the one that should be the standard of CSS. It fulfills the same criteria. I borrow the above opinion, this paper is going to be high scoring for the real scholars as per my prediction.
