Cheat Sheets
The cheat sheets live in revision/. This page is the router: pick the one that
matches how much time you have and why you are revising.
The course body answers "teach me SQS." The revision pack answers "remind me of everything important, quickly." They are written separately — the sheets are derived from the course, never copy-pasted from it.
