Corrections and Verification Notes

• “Compiler of the Quran” is ambiguous: Abu Bakr oversaw the first manuscript compilation; Uthman standardized copies.
• The original sequence containing 8, 27, 64, 100, 125, 216, 343 is irregular because 100 breaks the cube pattern; it has been excluded pending verification.
• “Population increase average = 5%” is incomplete without data.
• Ctrl+L depends on the software context.

Disclaimer: This is an independent memory-based collection, not an official ASF paper or answer key.
