Sorry Mark for the fast drill animation. I have tried to write down the text of what is happening (see below).

It is a difficult animation to follow but hopefully it makes more sense with the extra notes now.

How many `pairs` ? In the `middle` of what ?

You`re opening sentence is far too vague.

So explain how the drill begins please ?
