From the paper:
"This program prints the product f (1) ∗ f (0) ∗ f (−1) where f (x) = x + 5. ... Most people were able to get the correct answer of 60 in 30 seconds or less."
Unless I'm losing my mind, the correct answer for the code as stated is 6 * 5 * 4=120, not 60. It would be 60 if f (x) = x + 4.
- synesthesiam 14y agoYou're correct. This was a (very) unfortunate typo. We had changed from x + 5 to x + 4 during the design phase to try and lessen the mental burden without making it too easy. Thanks to you and a few others, I'm making corrections and will be uploading a fixed version of the paper soon.
