Would people be interested in a transcript of this? I might have time to do that kind of thing after my finals are done.

Small correction on my part: Ellie Warner (Cambridge) and Tamara Vardomskaya (Chicago B) were also in the top bracket.

I would be very interested in such a transcript.

I've done the first hour and started the second hour, and I'm putting them here. Normally I'd put it in a Pastebin or something like that, but I wanted it to be accessible from the forums directly in case someone is searching for a related topic.

EDIT: Of course, as I transcribe more questions I'll keep updating the thread.
