+# Questions
+
+### For each implementation, how does changing the number of boids affect performance? Why do you think this is?
+For every implementation, the performance gets worse as the number of boids increases. This is because when you have more boids you will also
+have more threads running at a time. We will eventually get to a point where there are more threads needed than are possible to run at a time.
+The more boids we have the more work our computers are going to have to do to maintain all of them.
+
+### For each implementation, how does changing the block count and block size affect performance? Why do you think this is?
+The block count and size do not appear to affect performance significantly. I think this is because the block size and count do not have a
+direction relation to the number of threads that are able to run at a time. Although the configuration of the threads may change, the 
+perfomance is not really impacted because the same number are still able to run in parallel.
+
+### For the coherent uniform grid: did you experience any performance improvements with the more coherent uniform grid? Was this the outcome you expected? Why or why not?
+I have not gotten the coherent uniform grid to work yet.
+
+### Did changing cell width and checking 27 vs 8 neighboring cells affect performance? Why or why not?
+I don't think that changing the cell width affects the performance because even though there are more cells to check, the distance between them is smaller.
+This means each boid will be compared to fewer neighbors in a cell, and the outcome will be relatively similar to as if there were 8 cells being checked.
