In regards to exercise set: Functions 3,

These aren't very good problems. They should be testing knowledge of how functions interact, but instead students are dealing with tedious, time consuming and often error prone arithmetic.

If you want to test long and drawn out arithmetic operations; that is fine, but this is not the exercise for it.

Please use simpler functions and focus on the _functions interaction_ and not these drawn out death march of simple arithmetic.

Regards,
Dean
