In case you missed it, the common part of these tasks is the "Figure out on your own", where - in case you missed that again - the important part is "on your own" and not by posting questions on the forums. This will teach you a lot of useful things, most of them you probably don't even know yet that you need them and it will set you on track for you little project.
Sharing what you learn here would be a good thing. There is nothing like trying to teach someone else something (or even explain it properly) to force you to come to a total understanding of the topic.
Sharing what you learn, and being able to answer questions about it, even if that means more research, means that you have learned something. Maybe not what you set out (or wanted) to learn, but something.
