10.3 Exercises with yank and nthcdr

• Using C-h v (describe-variable), look at the value of your kill ring. Add several items to your kill ring; look at its value again. Using M-y (yank-pop), move all the way around the kill ring. How many items were in your kill ring? Find the value of kill-ring-max. Was your kill ring full, or could you have kept more blocks of text within it?
