The link requires a username and password, and I have zero idea what is going on in this "table".

Please reply with the full and exact text of the exercise (typing it out yourself, since the copy-n-paste isn't working), the complete instructions, and a clear listing of your thoughts and efforts so far. Thank you! ;)
