The notes
Exactly as they are on the site.
You have three ways in, and they are not equally good under time pressure.
Right at the front. The first port of call for almost every question. Big headings, and it gets you to the right part in seconds.
Every part has one. Chapter 41 has its own contents page too — that's how big it is. This is how you pinpoint a section without flicking.
At the very back, and enormous. It works, but it's slow, and near-identical entries ("cable" vs "cables") sit in different places. Best used as a fallback, though some prefer it as a first move. Try both and use whichever your brain likes.
A worked example of the technique: a question about an external influence code. Part 3 mentions external influences but only to point you onward. The rule: "if I see external influences, I'm going straight to Appendix 5. If it's not there, Chapter 52." Recognising the keyword and knowing where it lives beats reading.
