	When I click "Intro" is there any reason to jump me to a list, instead of straight into the work? There's a lot of words between me and coding.

	Copy is nice and big, interstitials to code > Codecademy

	What's the rationale for showing questions before i might actually have one?

	grades = raw_input("What are your grades?").split() # Start out just like our old GPA calculator.
	float_grades=[] # Make an empty list. We'll need this once we convert all of our grades to floats.

	for inputs in grades: # This for loop will go through every grade...
	num_grade = float(inputs) # float() the value of each grade...
	float_grades.append(num_grade) # and append that float value to our empty list

	# I've made a new variable. You don't NEED to do this, but it makes the last line look cleaner
	average = sum(float_grades)/len(float_grades)

	print "The _______ of Romeo & _______"
	print ".............................."
