Great bit of fun. Disappointed with 19th but I wasted two hints. Also disagreed with the answer for question 2 on the first mission which is poorly worded. There are more than 2 VLAN's configured for the San Francisco network (2 on the MX and about 5 on the Switches). Maybe thats just me being picky 🙂
