Grading comment

This really helped my out during my 'hora do aperto'. I've actually got 'importância' down in my personal glossary as 'sum', but I couldn't get past 'não adiantou' in this phrase - it combined (in my head) to read something like "...it's of no use and of any importance...". Senseless garbage.

I believe that "adiantar" has the connotation of "in advance, up front , down payment or as an initial payment."
