Difficult: I did not see how we can find p and q from this method. It seems that to discover p and q they had to have the square root of a mod n, but then the process they use to find this is to find the square root mod p and mod q, which would defeat the purpose. Otherwise, not too difficult a section.
Reflective: This was a short, simple section that taught me something new! I didn't know how to find general square roots in a finite group, hadn't even considered it. As such, I enjoyed the section quite a bit. The fact that the process was understandable helps too.
