How many psets will I get through at Ross?

I'm attending Ross this summer, which is a math program that teaches number theory for 6 weeks. There are 28 total problem sets, of which students are allowed to complete any number, and I've been told that an average number of psets completed by the end is 15, with a good goal being 19 (that's when QR is proved).

I do intend on giving this my All (pun very much intended), and I will be working as fast as possible. However, I think there's a good chance I'll find the psets reasonably hard so idk. For the record, I am a first year student, so the content will be comparatively new to me. Also for the record, I do have some prior exposure to more advanced number theory, so I might be better prepared than some others. Again, idk.

This market will resolve to the number of psets that I complete (i.e. solve every problem on, with or without help). I will probably end up asking for help at some point, but I definitely won't abuse this (as in, I won't ask for all the answers just to claim I've solved more sets). If exceptions come up (for example if there happens to be a problem that's controversial, or a problem that we're explicitly told isn't expected to be solved), I'll address those based on the situation.

I've heard there are special sets, and I think I'll count those too if I complete one (and set 0 and the axiom set both count). For that reason, I'll put the cap at 35.
