Hey, no need to get so sarcastic! ;-)
Anyway, I was curious about whether google could handle so
simple a request, so I tried a few guesses. It actually
took me between 2 and 3 minutes, but I found:

I'd say that this isn't an ideal cheat sheet, mostly
because the html forces a lot of wasted space, and it
doesn't print on a single sheet of paper very well. It also
uses a lot of <font> tags and specifiec bgcolor but not
fgcolor. Talk about cluelessly shooting yourself in the
foot. But it does look like a useful summary. If you fetch
the html and massage it a bit, you can probably get it to
fit into the left side of a single sheet, leaving room for
notes on the right.
I'm almost tempted to do this myself, out of annoyance with
the cluelessness of the layout. A cheat sheet is supposed
to require minimal paper, after all.
