But after three cups of coffee, a dry bagel from the campus store, a small pack of maynards mini fruit gums, three brownies and a litre of water, it seemed as though the cloud in my brain was just about to disperse. But then this question arrived, and here comes my old buddy migraine, trampling my daisies, stomping through the front door and settling right in the middle of my <span style=\"color: #grey;\">Cereberum<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">So yeah, I have no idea what you just asked. But I have a feeling it has something to do with the 12 different courses requirement.

Simple as that. But apparently, you require further decipherment of this enigma. So I?ll illustrate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Herb is enrolled in two majors: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsandscience.utoronto.ca\/ofr\/calendar\/crs_bio.htm#ASMAJ2364\"><span style=\"color: #grey;\">biology<\/span><\/a> (which includes 8 full FCE?s) and <span style=\"color: #grey;\">toxicology<\/span> (again 8 courses). <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">In order to graduate, Herb must have at least 12 different courses in those <span style=\"color: #grey;\">two<\/span> programs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">That means that even if (hypothetically speaking) Herb completed 8 courses that fulfill the toxicology program, and all of those courses count towards the biology program as well, that wouldn?t be enough.
