I think it's better to submit this as a link. Submission without link have a penalty and it's more difficult that they reach the front page.

Also, to sort alphabetically the test of ~200 students the method I use is to split the pile in 6 smaller piles (something like A-C, D-F, G-L, M-Q, R-T, U-Z). Then split each pile in subpiles one for each letter, and then sort the subpiles. Sometimes the subpiles of one letter are small and fuzzy, sometimes it's useful to split a subpile of one letter in half. You can call it radix sort if you like.

Thanks, sadly i can't now add a link to this. When I edit it the URL field is blocked.
Just make a new submission, and delete this post. Or just post a link to the new submission here as a comment.
