Line 22:
::It may be too late for this task, but lets try to make sure that in the future, such needlessly restrictive tasks get fixed during draft stage (and before they become big). Tasks asking for specific programming idioms or language features should be clearly named as such - generic math-problem tasks should not be hijacked for that.

:::The task description ''is'' complete. If one reads the title and skims the task description then of course one is likely to come a cropper. This task is not only about the calculation but also how it is to be done - numbers given to the function singly, intermediate results.
:::Looking at the failing examples so far they mostly stem from ignoring the task description. I see it as equivalent to asking for a merge sort and someone sticking in a bubble sort and saying "it sorts doesn't it"? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 13:38, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
